PREFACE. 

The  prospect  of  the  completion  of  the  Panama  Canal  in  1915,  the  realiza- 
tion of  New  England  business  men  that  wt  must  find  new  markets  for  our 
manufactured  goods,  the  far-reaching  plans  for  the  development  of  our 
harbor  —  these  and  many  other  factors  would  seem  to  indicate  a  considerable 
increase  in  the  shipping  and  receiving  of  goods  through  the  port  of  Boston 
during  the  next  ten  years. 

The  reason  for  this  book  is  the  belief  of  the  Directors  and  the  Committee 
on  Foreign  Trade  of  the  Boston  Chamber  of  Commerce  that  a  compilation 
of  useful  information  concerning  shipping  facilities,  customs  regulations, 
tables  of  foreign  moneys,  weights  and  measures,  etc.,  will  prove  to  be  of  real 
assistance  to  the  business  men  of  New  England  who  already  ship  goods 
through  this  port  or  who  are  considering  the  making  of  such  shipments. 

This  book  has  been  prepared  under  the  direction  of  the  Chamber's  Com- 
mittee on  Foreign  Trade.  Some  of  the  material  has  been  collected  for  the 
first  time.  Some  omissions  and  some  errors  have  undoubtedly  been  made. 
If,  however,  there  is  the  real  demand  for  a  publication  of  this  kind  —  and  the 
preliminary  canvass  seemed  to  indicate  that  there  is  —  a  revised  edition  will 
be  issued  for  1914.  Any  errors  which  are  brought  to  our  attention  will  be 
corrected  in  that  edition,  and  such  other  information  will  be  added  as  more 
mature  consideration  may  seem  to  warrant. 

The  Committee  is  indebted  to  many  persons  for  their  assistance  in  com- 
piling this  information.  Particularly  do  they  wish  to  acknowledge  the  co- 
operation of  officials  of  the  United  States  Treasury  Department,  the  Boston 
Customs  officials,  the  Directors  of  the  Port,  the  railroad  and  steamship 
companies,  the  various  steamship  agencies,  members  of  the  Committee  on 
Maritime  Affairs,  and  the  business  men  of  the  city  who  subscribed  for  adver- 
tising space  and  thereby  made  it  financially  possible  to  go  ahead  with  the 
book. 

Corrections  and  suggestions  sent  to  the  office  of  the  Secretary  will  be 
gratefully  received. 

James  A.  McKibben, 

Secretary  Boston  Chamber  of  Commerce.

THE    BOSTON    CUSTOMS    HOUSE    AS    NOW    BUILDING. 

From  information  furnished  by  Peobody  A  Stearns,  Architects. 


In  1907  the  Mini  of  $500,000  was  appropriated  for  the  purchase  of  a  site 
for  a  Custom  House  in  Boston.  Later  the  design  was  determined  upon  and 
the  appropriation  was  increased  to  $1,800,000  for  the  building  including  the 
expense  of  removal.  Temporary  quarters  were  then  leased  costing  aoout 
197,000  par  annum.  On  July  10,  1912,  the  appropriation  was  changed  so  as 
to  make  it  possible  to  spend  the  whole  appropriation,  $1,800,000,  for  a  build- 
ing on  the  old  rite.  Contracts  were  signed  by  the  Treasury  Department 
with  Noreross  Bros.  Co.  on  May  20,  1910,  for  building  the  foundations  and 
on  August  9,  1912,  with  Noreross  Bros.  Co.  for  building  the  entire  super- 
structure. 

The  architects  are  Peabody  &  Stearns,  and  they  have  had  Purdy  & 
Henderson,  of  New  York,  and  Mr.  J.  R.  Worcester,  of  Boston,  as  advisors 
regarding  engineering  questions. 

The  foundations  of  the  tower  have  been  completed.  The  construction 
was  difficult,  it  being  necessary  to  sink  concrete  piers  through  soft  clay  to  a 
depth  of  one  hundred  feet  below  the  surface.  At  this  point  a  firm  foundation 
was  found  on  hard  pan  and  boulders.  The  lower  section  of  the  steel  work 
for  the  tower  is  in  place  and  some  of  the  granite  in  the  basement  rotunda  has 
been  finished. 

The  sub-contracts  for  steel  and  granite  and  for  many  other  details  have 
been  let,  and  as  soon  as  the  steel  is  delivered  (probably  in  June)  the  work 
will  proceed  with  rapidity. 

The  building  as  designed  preserves  the  exterior  of  the  old  building. 
This  will  form  a  spreading  base  to  the  tower  which  will  rise  to  a  height  of  505 
feet  above  the  pavement  and  take  the  place  of  the  dome  which  once  covered 
the  central  part  of  the  building. 

The  whole  design  is  simple  and  in  accord  with  the  old  Doric  base.  The 
upper  and  more  ornamented  portion  will  contain  immense  clock  faces  and 
galleries,  from  which  visitors  will  command  views  of  the  whole  establishment. 

In  the  interior  the  main  entrance  rotunda  will  be  richly  finished  in  marble, 
and  will  make  the  handsome  centre  of  the  life  of  the  building. 

The  various  office  stories  give  an  area  about  equal  to  those  of  the  several 
stories  of  the  Fiske  Building  in  State  Street,  and  it  is  considered  that  rapid 
elevator  service  will  make  intercommunication  between  them  easier  and 
quicker  than  would  be  possible  in  a  low  building  like  the  New  York  Custom 
House  where  long  distances  must  be  traveled  on  foot. 

The  building  as  designed  contains  ample  accommodations  for  the  various 
Custom  House  departments  and  for  storage  and  filling  and  other  accessory 
necessities. 

Some  departments  are  accommodated  amply  on  a  single  floor  —  others 
occupy  two  floors,  the  upper  one  of  the  two  being  substantially  a  gallery

around  the  main  and  lower  floor.     There  is  ample  accommodation  for  the 
growth  of  departments  and  for  storage. 

The  space  is  assigned  to  the  departments  as  follows: 

Basement:  Service,   Upper   Part  of   Boiler  Room,    Marine   Hospital 

Service.

Above  the  eighteenth  story  space  is  unassigned. 

A  comparison  between  the  capacity  of  the  new  and  old  buildings  shows 
that  the  old  building  by  utilizing  corridors,  rotunda,  office  and  other  avail- 
able space  for  office  purposes  was  accommodated  in  space  as  follows : 

Square  feet 

Basement 7542 

First  story     .........  4514 

Second  story 6962 

Third  story 1197 

20,215 

In  the  new  building  there  is  available  space  (exclusive  of  stairways,  cor- 
ridors and  rotundas,  etc.),  as  follows: 

Service       Offices        Toilets        Total

A  total  of  56,000  square  feet  against  20,215  or  about  2  77/100  times  as 
much  space  as  in  the  old  building.  If  the  wells  in  the  gallery  stories  were 
floored  over  there  would  be  a  gain  in  floor  space  of  about  2800  square  feet. 
That  would  make  a  total  of  57,800  square  feet  or  2  91/100  times  as  much  floor 
space  actually  and  properly  available  as  offices,  storage  and  toilets  in  the  new 
building,  as  was  actually  used  in  the  old  building  by  encroaching  on  corridors 
and  rotundas.

Appraisers,  Adopted  Pursuant  to  the  Customs  Administrative  Act  of  1890, 
as  Amended  by  the  Act  of  May  27,  1908,  and  Section  12  of  the  Act  of  August 
5,  1909. 

Seal. 

I.  The  seal  of  the  General  Board  shall  contain  the  words  "Board  of" 
on  the  upper  part  of  the  outer  edge,  the  words  "  General  Appraisers  "  on  the 
lower  part  of  the  outer  edge,  running  from  left  to  right,  and  the  words  "United 
States  "  in  the  center. 

Board. 

II.  The  word  "Board,"  when  used  in  these  rules  and  not  otherwise 
expressly  designated,  shall  be  held  to  refer  to  any  one  of  the  three  Boards  of 
three  General  Appraisers. 

Terms. 

III.  General  calendars  of  all  pending  cases  not  suspended  and  not 
triable  in  ports  other  than  New  York  where  the  Board  holds  regular  hearings, 
will  be  called  each  month,  except  July  and  August,  in  the  trial  room  of  the 
Board  at  the  port  of  New  York,  and  the  cases  found  thereon  set  for  trial  on 
such  days  as  the  Board  may  order.  Such  general  calendars  will  be  called  in 
accordance  with  Rule  XXXVI  hereof. 

IV.  Upon  the  call  of  the  monthly  calendar  provided  for  in  Rule  III, 
all  protests  which  are  not  defaulted,  abandoned,  submitted  or  suspended, 
shall  be  set  for  hearing  in  one  of  the  hearing  rooms  of  the  Board  on  regular 
days  for  each  Board,  and  no  protests  shall  be  set  for  hearing  before  a  single 
General  Appraiser  unless  it  be  for  the  purpose  of  offering  proof  necessary  to 
secure  suspension  or  reliquidation  order  allowable  under  final  rulings  on 
the  same  precise  issue.  The  regular  days  for  such  Board  hearings  shall  be 
according  to  Rule  XXXVI.  Boards  will  designate  special  days  for  the  hear- 
ing of  protests  whenever  the  same  may,  in  their  judgment,  be  necessary. 

Boards  will  not,  except  in  defaulted  or  abandoned  cases,  accept  the 
submission  of  a  protest  for  consideration  unless  the  opposite  party  is  present 
or  consents  to  the  same. 

In  special  cases  a  Board  may,  on  application  of  either  party,  and  for 
good  cause  shown,  permit  the  taking  of  testimony  in  advance,  where  witnesses 
will  not  be  able  to  be  present  at  the  regular  hearing.  Notice  of  such  applica- 
tion and  of  all  motions,  unless  otherwise  herein  provided,  shall  be  given  the 
opposing  party. 

V.  All  general  monthly  calendars  may  be  called  by  a  single  General 
Appraiser  and  hearings  held  in  all  ports  other  than  New  York  may  be  con- 
ducted by  a  single  General  Appraiser. 

66 


Hearings  before  Single  General  Appraisers. 
Hearings  of  cases  before  individual  general  appraisers  at  all  ports  will  be 
called  at  such  time  and  place  as  may  be  appointed  by  such  officer,  after  due 
notice  given. 

VI.  At  ports  where  the  Board  holds  regular  hearings,  calendars  of 
cases  pending  will  be  called  on  the  dates  fixed  therefor;  and  cases  found  thereon 
will  be  tried  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  as  the  Board  or  General  Appraiser  in 
attendance  may  direct. 

Attorneys. 

VII.  A  register  of  attorneys  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  chief  clerk 
of  the  General  Board,  in  which  will  be  entered  the  names  of  all  persons  en- 
titled to  represent  parties  before  the  Board  in  the  prosecution  of  protests  or 
of  reappraisement  appeals. 

The  names  of  persons  or  firms  in  the  following  classes  will,  upon  their 
written  request,  be  entered  on  this  register. 

(a)  Any  attorney  at  law  in  good  standing  and  a  member  of  the  bar 
in  any  court  of  record  of  the  United  States  or  any  of  the  courts  of  the 
States  or  territories  thereof. 

(6)  Any  person  not  an  attorney  at  law,  who  shall  prove  to  the  satis- 
faction of  the  General  Board  that  he  is  of  good  character  and  of  good 
repute,  and  is  possessed  of  the  necessary  qualifications  to  enable  him  to 
render  valuable  service  to  any  party  to  a  proceeding  pending  before  the 
Board,  and  that  he  is  otherwise  competent  to  advise  and  assist  in  the 
presentation  and  prosecution  of  such  proceeding. 

(c)  Any  firm  which  shall  show  that  the  individual  members  com- 
posing such  firm  are  each  and  all  registered  under  these  provisions. 

Notice  of  Appearance  and  Substitution. 

VIII.  Attorneys  appearing  in  a  case  pending  before  the  Board  shall 
file  notice  thereof  with  the  chief  clerk,  who  shall  cause  the  same  to  be  attached 
to  the  protest  covered  by  it.  Such  notice  of  appearance  shall  state  the  number 
of  the  protest  and  the  name  of  the  protestant.  Where  it  is  desired  to  change 
the  attorney  in  any  case  pending  before  the  Board,  a  written  consent,  signed 
by  the  party  and  his  attorney,  shall  be  filed  with  the  chief  clerk  of  the  General 
Board,  and  the  same  shall  be  attached  to  the  protest. 

Appearance  on  Days  Fixed  for  Hearing. 

IX.  Where  there  is  no  appearance  on  the  part  of  either  of  the  parties 
to  a  case  when  the  same  is  called,  it  shall  be  considered  submitted  and  may 
be  determined  by  the  Board  on  the  record. 

Protests. 

X.  Upon  the  receipt  of  protests  in  due  form  with  accompanying  in- 
voices, papers  and  exhibits,  the  chief  clerk  of  the  Board  shall  cause  the  same 
to  be  properly  numbered  in  the  order  of  their  receipt  by  him,  and  the  same 
shall  then  be  filed  in  his  office,  there  to  remain  subject  to  the  Board's  action 
thereon. 

67 


The  chief  clerk  shall  cause  all  protests  to  be  placed  upon  a  docket  to  be 
called  at  the  next  callendar  call  of  the  Board  before  which  the  issue  is  triable, 
unless  the  same  shall  have  been  ordered  on  the  suspended  Files,  as  provided 
for  in  Rule  XIV. 

The  chief  clerk  shall,  at  the  time  of  giving  notice  of  hearing  of  cases,  at 
all  ports  other  than  New  York,  forward  to  the  local  officer  in  charge  of  such 
hearings  a  copy  of  the  docket,  together  with  the  records  in  all  cases  to  be 
heard  thereat;  and  request  such  local  officer,  in  both  reappraisement  and  classi- 
fication matters,  to  at  once  identify  each  of  the  samples  with  the  particular 
record  to  which  it  belongs,  stamp  said  samples  with  the  Board's  number  of 
the  respective  protest,  and  arrange  the  same  in  numerical  order,  at  least  three 
days  before  such  hearings,  so  that  each  record  may  be  open  to  the  inspection 
of  the  importer  a  party  thereto,  or  his  attorney,  and  the  Assistant  Attorney- 
General,  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  for  such  hearings;  and  at  the  close  of 
such  hearings,  to  immediately  transmit  such  samples  and  records  to  the  Board 
of  General  Appraisers. 

Assignment  of  Subjects,  etc. 

XL  The  hearing  of  protests  and  appeals  by  Boards  of  General  Appraisers 
will  be  assigned  by  the  General  Board  of  General  Appraisers  by  rules  according 
to  subjects  provided  for  in  the  tariff  act,  and  the  President  of  the  General  Board 
will  assign  all  cases  accordingly;  but  if,  by  reason  of  illness,  absence,  or  other 
cause,  a  General  Appraiser  or  a  Board  cannot  hear  or  pass  upon  the  issues 
involved,  and  in  all  cases  wherein  a  disqualification  exists,  or  is  deemed  to 
exist  by  a  Board  or  by  a  single  General  Appraiser  having  the  matter  under 
consideration,  the  President  of  the  General  Board  will  assign  such  cases  to 
another  Board  or  single  General  Appraiser  as  is  appropriate,  for  hearing  and 
determination. 

All  appeals  in  reappraisement  cases  determinable  by  one  General  Appraiser 
will  be  assigned  by  the  President  of  the  General  Board  for  hearing  and  deter- 
mination. 

The  General  Appraiser  to  whom  an  appeal  is  assigned  shall  set  a  day  for 
hearing,  and  reasonable  notice  thereof  shall  be  mailed  to  the  importer,  his 
attorney  or  representative,  and  also  to  the  appraising  officer  whose  valuation 
is  disputed. 

Appeals  to  a  Board  for  reappraisement  will  be  set  for  hearing  on  the  next 
hearing  day  of  said  Board,  unless  the  Board  shall  otherwise  order. 

Decisions. 
XII.  All  decisions  in  classification  cases  by  a  Board,  before  promulga- 
tion, shall  be  submitted  to  the  members  of  the  other  Boards  on  duty  at  the 
port  of  New  York,  and  if  two  members  of  any  other  Board  are  of  the  opinion 
that  any  proposed  decision  conflicts  with  another  decision  concurrent  there- 
with or  theretofore  made  by  the  Board  or  by  the  United  States  courts,  the 
President  of  the  General  Board  shall  submit  such  decision  to  all  the  members 
of  the  General  Board  so  present  at  the  port  of  New  York;  and,  whenever  a 
majority  of  said  General  Board  so  present  shall  be  of  the  opinion  that  a  con- 
flict exists  the  case  shall  be  reassigned  by  the  President  of  the  General  Board 
for  decision  to  a  Board  the  majority  of  whose  members  agree  with  the  majority 
of  said  General  Board,  who  shall  duly  proceed  to  hear  and  determine  the  same. 

68 


The  chief  clerk  shall  forward  a  copy  of  all  decisions  filed  with  him  to  the 
collector  of  the  port  at  which  the  protest  arose. 

The  chief  clerk  shall  also  forward  a  copy  of  every  decision  to  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Treasury,  Assistant  Attorney-General  in  Charge  of  Customs,  and 
to  such  other  persons  as  the  President  of  the  General  Board  may  direct. 

XIII.  Until  a  decision  shall  have  been  duly  signed  by  the  Board,  and 
the  same  shall  have  been  duly  promulgated,  it  shall  not  be  accessible  to  the 
attorneys  for  either  part  or  to  any  person  not  officially  entitled  thereto. 

Suspensions. 

XIV.  Where  protests  cover  the  question  involved  in  any  suit  pending 
in  court,  the  docket  clerk  shall  mark  the  same  "  Suspensible  under  suit  No. 

,"  and  the  same  shall  thereupon  be  referred  to  the  Assistant  Attorney 

General,  who  shall  examine  the  same  and  indorse  thereon  his  approval  or  dis- 
approval of  the  action  of  said  clerk. 

If  the  Assistant  Attorney-General  shall  object  to  a  suspension  as  herein- 
before provided  for,  the  case  shall  be  placed  upon  the  next  docket  of  the 
Board,  and  the  Board  shall  then  determine  whether  the  same  shall  be  suspended 
or  heard. 

If  counsel  for  an  importer  shall  object  to  suspension  of  any  protest, 
the  same  shall  be  placed  upon  the  next  docket,  to  be  disposed  of  in  the  manner 
hereinbefore  set  forth. 

Protests  may  be  suspended  upon  the  stipulation  of  counsel  for  both 
oarties. 

The  Board  may  require  properly  verified  samples  of  the  merchandise 
in  dispute  before  ordering  the  suspension  of  a  protest. 

When  any  court  has  decided  a  case,  to  await  the  decision  of  which  pro- 
tests have  been  suspended  by  the  Board,  the  suspended  protests  shall  not  be 
taken  up  for  trial  within  the  time  in  which  the  case  may  be  appealed,  except 
where  the  parties  may  disclaim  any  further  intention  of  appealing. 

When  any  protest  shall  have  been  ordered  suspended  under  these  rules 
the  same  shall  be  actually  placed  upon  the  files  in  the  office  of  the  chief  clerk 
of  the  General  Board,  to  be  there  held  until  said  protest  shall  again  be  placed 
upon  the  calendar  of  the  Board  for  proper  disposition  after  the  issue  involved 
shall  have  been  finally  determined,  unless  the  same  be  abandoned. 

Whenever  an  issue  has  been  finally  determined  by  the  courts  or  the 
Board  is  satisfied  that  in  any  case  good  cause  does  not  exist  for  suspension  or 
that  good  faith  or  due  diligence  is  not  being  observed,  in  the  prosecution  of 
any  issue  the  subject  of  suspension,  the  Board  may  order  such  case  or  cases 
upon  the  docket  for  hearing  and  decision. 

Suspended  protests,  and  protests  the  suspension  of  which  has  been  re- 
quested and  refused,  shall  not  be  decided  until  after  due  notice  of  hearing

Whenever  it  shall  appear  to  the  President  of  the  Board  of  General  Ap- 
praisers that  there  are  not  pending  at  any  port  in  the  schedule  herein  a  suffi- 
cient number  of  cases  to  warrant  the  visit  of  a  general  appraiser,  or  for  other 
sufficient  cause,  he  will,  after  due  notice,  extend  the  time  appointed  for  such 
docket  to  a  future  day. 

Whenever  a  docket  day  herein  fixed  falls  upon  a  holiday,  such  docket 
will  be  called  upon  the  day  following. 

Said  docket  and  each  of  them  will  be  called  at  the  hour  of  ten  o'clock 
in  the  morning  of  the  day  appointed,  except  otherwise  specially  designated, 
and  all  pending  cases  be  heard  or  set  for  trial  as  the  General  Appraiser  in  at- 
tendance may  direct. 

Upon  transmittal  of  records  from  ports  other  than  New  York  to  the 
Board  of  General  Appraisers  in  cases  in  which  local  hearings  are  to  be  had 

70 


the  sample  will,  after  being  properly  carded  (Form  Cat.  No.  183  or  184)  for 
identification  with  such  records,  be  retained  in  the  local  office  for  use  at  such 
hearings,  and  thereafter  be  immediately  indorsed  with  the  Board  numbers 
and  transmitted  with  such  records  to  the  Board  of  General  Appraisers. 

Notice  of  Calendar  Call  in  Classification  Cases. 

XVI.  In  all  New  York  protests  on  general  calendars  provided  for 
in  Rule  III,  the  importer  or  his  attorney  of  record  shall  be  given  twenty-one 
days'  notice  by  mail,  of  the  day  and  hour  set  for  the  call  of  the  calendar 
according  to  Rule  XXXVI. 

In  all  protests  arising  at  ports  other  than  New  York  which  are  on  the 
general  calendar  call  at  New  York,  the  importer  or  his  attorney  of  record  shall 
be  given  fourteen  days'  notice,  by  mail,  of  the  day  and  hour  set  for  the  call  of 
the  calendar. 

In  protests  at  ports  other  than  the  port  of  New  York,  where  the  Board 
holds  regular  classification  hearings,  there  shall  be  given  to  the  importer  or 
his  attorney  of  record  fourteen  days'  notice,  by  mail,  of  the  time  and  place 
set  for  the  hearings,  when  practicable. 

In  protests  which,  on  the  call  of  the  regular  dockets,  have  been  set  for 
trial  on  a  certain  day,  notice  thereof  will  not  be  given  to  the  parties  in  interest. 

Access  of  Attorney  to  Papers. 

XVII.  All  papers  in  cases  before  the  Boards  shall  be  kept  in  the  office 
of  the  Chief  Clerk  until  such  cases  have  been  duly  submitted,  when  they  shall 
be  delivered  by  the  chief  clerk  to  the  General  Appraiser  who  has  been  assigned 
to  write  the  opinion  therein;  except  that  the  Assistant  Attorney-General  may 
be  permitted,  upon  receipting  therefor,  to  take  any  papers  required  by  him 
to  his  office,  to  be  retained  there  not  longer  than  three  days;  but  such  time  may 
be  extended  by  the  chairman  of  the  Board  having  jurisdiction  of  the  case,  or 
the  General  Appraiser,  where  the  same  has  been  assigned  to  him  for  hearing 
or  decision.  Such  extension  shall  be  noted  on  a  card  on  file  in  the  office  of 
the  chief  clerk  of  the  General  Board,  but  in  all  cases  the  papers  shall  be  returned 
before  the  close  of  business  hours  of  the  day  preceding  any  calendar  call  of  the 
same.  In  classification  cases,  and  in  reappraisement  cases  where  an  open 
hearing  has  been  granted,  attorneys  for  interested  parties  may  have  access  to 
all  papers,  for  examination  in  the  office  of  the  chief  clerk. 

No  importer,  attorney,  or  representative  of  either,  shall  make  any  memo- 
randum, or  notation  upon  any  jacket,  cover,  or  other  paper  on  file  with  the 
Board;  but  an  importer,  attorney,  or  his  representative  may,  by  direction  or 
consent  of  a  General  Appraiser,  make  or  sign  any  memorandum  upon  any  such 
paper. 

Copies  of  Records  and  Testimony. 

XVIII.  Parties  in  interest  in  a  proceeding  may,  in  the  discretion  of  the 
Board  or  single  General  Appraiser  having  jurisdiction  of  the  case,  obtain  a 
copy  of  the  record  of  testimony  in  such  proceeding  upon  paying  to  the  chief 
clerk  the  sum  of  ten  cents  for  each  and  every  folio  thereof,  for  the  original  copy, 
and  five  cents  per  folio  for  every  additional  copy.  The  moneys  thus  collected 
shall  be  covered  into  the  Treasury  of  the  United  States. 

71 


Rehearings  in  Classification  Cases. 

XIX.  A  rehearing  or  retrial  in  classification  cases  may  be  granted  by 
the  Board  rendering  the  decision,  on  motion  of  either  party,  in  the  case  of  any 
protest  decided  under  the  provisions  of  Section  14  of  the  Customs  Adminis- 
trative Act,  as  amended  by  Act  of  Congress  approved  May  27,  1908,  en- 
titled "An  Act  amending  the  Customs  Administrative  Act  of  June  10,  1890," 
as  further  amended  by  the  Tariff  Act  of  August  5,  1909,  provided  that  the  ap- 
plication be  filed  within  thirty  days  from  the  date  of  its  promulgation  by  the 
Board  rendering  the  decision.  Applications  for  such  rehearings  or  retrials 
must  be  made  in  writing  and  succinctly  and  clearly  state  the  grounds  or  rea- 
sons therefor.  If  on  grounds  not  appearing  from  the  record,  the  application 
must  be  verified  by  affidavit,  setting  out  with  reasonable  particularity  the  facts 
alleged  as  its  basis.  Briefs  may  accompany  such  applications,  but  no  oral 
argument  shall  be  heard  thereon  except  in  such  cases  as  the  Board,  in  its  dis- 
cretion, may  set  for  reargument.  Such  application  shall  be  filed  with  the  chief 
clerk,  who  shall  place  the  same  before  the  Board  which  rendered  the  decision. 

XX.  Where  an  application  for  a  rehearing  or  retrial  in  a  case  involving 
classification  and  rate  and  amount  of  duty  has  been  granted,  the  rehearing 
or  retrial  will  not  proceed  unless  the  application  for  review  of  the  Board's 
original  decision  shall  have  been  vacated  by  order  of  the  court  where  the  same 
may  be  pending.  When  the  Board  granting  the  rehearing  or  retrial  shall  be 
satisfied  that  here  is  no  appeal  pending  from  its  original  decision,  the  protest 
shall  be  set  for  hearing  before  it  on  a  regular  trial  day. 

'A  record  shall  be  kept  by  the  chief  clerk  of  the  General  Board,  in  which 
shall  be  recorded  the  number  of  the  protest  in  which  the  application  was 
made,  the  date  of  the  filing  of  the  application,  the  date  of  the  original  decision 
in  the  case,  the  date  of  the  judgment  of  the  Board  thereon,  and  whether 
"granted"  or  "denied." 

XXI.  Where  an  appeal  has  been  taken  from  the  original  decision  of  the 
Board,  the  action  of  the  Board  on  such  application  for  rehearing  or  retrial  shall 
be  immediately  certified  to  the  court  in  which  such  appeal  is  to  be  heard. 

Orders  —  Records  —  Process. 

XXII.  The  chief  clerk  of  the  General  Board,  or  some  duly  appointed 
clerk  or  clerks  in  his  office  theretofore  designated  by  the  President  of  the 
General  Board,  shall  act  as  the  clerk  of  the  classification  boards,  attend  upon 
their  sittings  and  record  in  a  book  kept  for  that  purpose  all  orders,  judgments, 
or  decrees  made  or  directed  by  said  classification  Boards,  or  any  of  them,  or 
any  member  thereof,  and  shall  issue  under  the  seal  of  the  General  Board  all 
process  ordered  or  directed  by  said  boards,  or  any  of  them,  or  any  member 
thereof. 

XXIII.  The  President  of  the  General  Board  shall  designate  a  clerk 
who  shall,  whenever  required  to  do  so,  attend  all  reappraisement  proceedings 
before  a  General  Appraiser  or  before  a  Board  of  three  General  Appraisers,  and 
shall  issue  under  the  seal  of  the  General  Board  all  process  ordered  by  a  General 
Appraiser  of  a  Board  of  three  General  Appraisers,  and  do  and  perform  such 
other  duties  in  connection  with  said  proceedings  as  he  may  be  directed  to  do 
or  perform  by  said  General  Appraiser  or  Board  of  three  General  Appraisers. 

72 


XXIV.  All  process  other  than  notices  of  hearing  issued  by  a  Board 
of  three  General  Appraisers,  or  any  member  thereof,  shall  be  in  the  name  of 
the  President  of  the  United  States,  and  shall  be  under  the  seal  of  the  Board 
and  directed  to  the  United  States  marshal  of  the  district  wherein  the  same  is  to  be 
served,  or  to  such  other  person  as  may  be  competent  in  the  premises. 

Depositions. 

XXV.  Commissions  will  be  issued  under  the  seal  of  the  General  Board 
to  examine  witnesses  resident  in  another  country  or  in  a  distant  part  of  the 
United  States  not  visited  by  a  General  Appraiser,  whenever  it  shall  appear 
satisfactorily  to  a  General  Appraiser  or  Board  of  General  Appraisers  before 
whom  the  case  is  pending  that  the  testimony  of  said  witnesses  is  neoeaniy 
and  important  in  a  case  pending  and  that  the  witnesses  cannot  attend  the  trial 
thereof. 

Commissions  will  be  issued  only  upon  motion  made  in  writing  accom- 
panied by  affidavit  duly  verified,  setting  forth  the  same  and  address  of  the 
witness  whose  testimony  is  sought  to  be  taken;  the  facts  to  be  proven  by  him 
and  the  necessity  for  the  same  on  the  trial;  and  that  the  witness  cannot  be 
produced  in  person  on  the  trial.  A  copy  of  the  affidavit  of  notice  shall  be 
served  upon  the  opposite  party  or  his  attorney  not  less  than  five  days  before 
the  day  on  which  the  application  will  be  presented  to  the  Board  for  considera- 
tion. 

Such  commissions  may  be  issued  to  an  American  consul,  notary  public, 
or  other  officer  authorized  to  administer  an  oath,  and  the  answers  of  the  wit- 
nesses to  both  direct  and  cross-interrogatories  shall  be  written  down  and  the 
commission  executed  in  the  manner  prescribed  by  Section  875  of  the  Revised 
Statutes  of  the  United  States,  whereupon  the  commissioner  shall  return  the 
same  to  the  chief  clerk  of  the  General  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  and  the 
same  shall  thereafter  be  considered  competent  evidence  in  the  case.  The  ex- 
pense of  such  commission  shall  be  borne  by  the  party  making  application  for 
the  same. 

Reappraisements. 

XXVI.  Reappraisements  whether  before  a  single  General  Appraiser 
or  before  a  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  shall  be  either  closed,  open,  or  public. 
If  closed  hearings  only  those  persons  shall  be  present  whom  the  General  Ap- 
praiser or  Board  shall  designate.  In  open  hearings  only  the  importer  and  his 
counsel  and  any  duly  authorized  representatives  of  the  Government,  together 
with  any  witnesses  called  in  the  case,  may  be  present.  In  public  hearings  any 
person  may  be  present. 

Reappraisement  Boards  shall  meet  according  to  Rule  XXXVI. 

Applications  for  Open  Hearings  in  Reappraisement  Cases. 

XXVII.  Applications  for  open  hearings  before  a  single  General  Ap- 
praiser, or  a  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  shall  be  made  in  writing,  a  copy  of 
which  shall  be  served  upon  the  opposite  party  before  being  presented  to  such 
General  Appraiser  or  Board  of  General  Appraisers. 

73 


Release  of  Merchandise. 

XXVIII.  The  Board,  in  all  reappraisement  cases  pending  before  such 
Board,  and  any  single  General  Appraiser,  in  all  other  reappraisements  cases, 
will  assent  to  the  delivery  of  merchandise  covered  by  reappraisement  appeal 
whenever  the  importer  shall  comply  with  the  regulations  of  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury. 

Samples  —  Custodian  —  Examination  —  Certification. 

XXIX.  There  shall  be  designated  a  custodian  of  samples  and  sample 
rooms  in  the  reappraisement  division  of  the  General  Board  of  General  Apprais- 
ers, who,  under  direction  and  as  ordered  by  the  President  of  the  General 
Board,  shall  have  exclusive  charge  of  such  samples.  It  shall  be  his  duty  to 
see  that  but  one  witness  at  a  time  on  any  particular  case  shall  examine  any  of 
such  samples  and  prepare  his  testimony,  and  that  out  of  the  presence  of  other 
witnesses,  counsel  or  parties;  and  unless  otherwise  ordered  by  a  General 
A  ppraiser  or  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  he  shall  exclude  all  other  such  from 
said  sample  room  during  such  time.  Where  samples  of  goods  are  drawn  upon 
release  orders  of  a  General  Appraiser  or  Board  of  General  Appraisers,  unless 
otherwise  ordered  by  them,  such  custodian  shall  superintend  such  drawing. 
He  shall  in  all  cases  where  the  particular  sample  is  not  clearly  designated,  call 
to  his  assistance  a  representative  of  the  importer  and  a  representative  of  the 
local  appraiser  passing  upon  such  goods,  each  of  whom  shall  certify  in  writing 
to  the  drawing  of  such  sample  and  its  representative  character. 

Upon  transmittal  of  records  from  ports  other  than  New  York  to  the 
Board  of  General  Appraisers  in  cases  in  which  local  hearings  are  to  be  had  the 
samples  will,  after  being  properly  carded  (Form  Cat.  No.  183  or  184)  for  identi- 
fication with  such  records,  be  retained  in  the  local  office  for  use  at  such  hear- 
ings, and  thereafter  be  immediately  indorsed  with  the  Board  numbers  and 
transmitted  with  such  records  to  the  Board  of  General  Appraisers. 

Within  ten  days  after  final  reappraisement  in  any  appeal  the  merchan- 
dise or  samples  pertaining  to  such  case  which  were  forwarded  to  the  General 
Appraisers  by  the  collector,  surveyor  or  appraiser  at  any  of  the  ports,  and  which 
are  unnecessary  for  the  purpose  of  further  controversy  or  as  permanent 
samples,  shall,  after  similar  notice  to  that  hereinafter  provided,  be  returned 
to  such  official  by  mail,  express,  or  freight,  for  legal  disposition  thereof,  accom- 
panied by  transmittal  cards  in  duplicate  giving  the  Board  serial  number, 
name  of  appellant,  and  other  needful  data,  the  original  card  to  be  officially 
receipted  and  returned  to  the  General  Board  for  its  file  records,  and  the  dupli- 
cate to  be  retained  by  the  official  of  the  port  for  the  files  of  his  office. 

In  cases  where  merchandise  or  samples  are  unnecessary  for  further  use 
or  as  permanent  samples,  the  Board  shall,  within  ten  days  after  final  re- 
appraisement, notify  the  party  furnishing  the  same  to  call  or  send  for  such 
articles.  After  twenty  days  from  date  of  such  notice,  if  the  articles  are  not 
claimed,  a  second  notice  shall  be  sent  to  the  effect  that  if  not  claimed  as  per 
terms  of  first  notice,  such  article  will  be  turned  over  to  the  collector  or  other 
official  of  the  port  of  New  York  for  legal  disposition  of  the  same.  After  the 
expiration  of  the  time  stated  in  last  notice,  if  such  merchandise  or  articles  are 
not  claimed  by  parties  furnishing  the  same,  they  shall  be  sent  to  such  official 

74 


at  the  port  of  New  York  in  like  manner  as  hereinbefore  provided  for  other 
reappraised  merchandise  or  samples  thereof,  for  legal  disposition  thereof. 

Samples  —  Disposition. 

XXX.  Samples  or  articles  in  classification  cases,  forwarded  as  exhibits 
by  collectors  or  other  officials  of  ports,  or  subsequently  furnished  by  protest- 
ants,  shall  remain  in  the  custody  of  the  General  Board  of  General  Appraisers 
for  such  time  as  they  may  be  required  for  use  of  the  Board,  and  in  no  event 
shall  they  be  surrendered  before  decision  is  rendered  in  the  protest  to  which 
they  pertain,  except  upon  written  stipulation  of  both  parties  approved  by  the 
General  Appraiser  or  Board. 

Samples  in  decided  protests  shall  not  be  surrendered  until  the  expiration 
of  sixty  days  from  date  of  decision,  to  insure  their  availability  in  the  event 
of  appeal  being  lodged  from  said  decision,  unless  a  stipulation  be  made  by  the 
protestants  and  approved  by  counsel  for  the  Government  that  no  appeal 
will  be  taken,  in  which  event  they  may  be  surrendered. 

Samples  in  decided  protests,  if  not  called  for,  need  not  remain  in  custody 
more  than  one  year,  unless  their  use  is  material  for  future  reference,  in  which 
event  they  may  be  retained  indefinitely  for  file  in  the  cabinets  of  the  sample 
bureau.  Whenever  the  retention  of  all  the  merchandise  is  unnecessary  for 
the  purposes  of  the  appeal,  and  samples  in  decided  protests  are  not  longer  re- 
quired by  any  Board  as  hereinbefore  set  forth,  they  shall  be  returned  to  the 
collector  or  other  proper  official  of  the  port  from  which  they  were  forwarded 
as  exhibits,  in  like  manner  as  reappraised  merchandise,  accompanied  also  by 
duplicate  cards  bearing  the  Board  number,  and  where  practicable,  the  port 
serial  number,  name  of  protestant  and  other  needful  data,  the  original  card  to 
be  receipted  and  returned  to  the  General  Board  for  its  files,  and  the  duplicate 
to  be  retained  at  the  port.  In  event  of  written  requests  of  appellants  for  re- 
turn to  them  of  such  samples,  the  same  may  be  delivered  upon  their  filing 
receipt  therefor. 

Samples  which  have  become  totally  changed  by  decomposition  or  fer- 
mentation and  are  offensive  may  be  destroyed,  but  proper  record  of  such  dis- 
position shall  be  made  in  each  case. 

Reports  of  Decisions. 

XXXI.  The  President  of  the  General  Board  shall  forward  to  the  Treas- 
ury Department  at  least  once  a  week,  a  copy  of  all  decisions,  duly  designated 
for  publication  or  otherwise  both  as  to  classification  and  values,  and  shall 
furnish  for  publication  by  the  Treasury  Department  comprehensive  abstracts 
of  all  decisions  not  published  in  full. 

Tea  Board  Meetings. 

XXXII.  Meetings  of  the  Tea  Board  will  be  held  upon  call  of  the  Chair- 
man of  said  Board  at  such  times  and  at  such  places  as  he  may  designate  and 
as  the  exigencies  of  the  business  of  that  Board  may  demand.  The  jurisdic- 
tion and  procedure  of  the  Tea  Board  will  be  as  provided  under  the  act  of  March 
2,  1897. 

75 


Supervision  over  Appraisements  and  Classifications. 

XXXIII.  The  Board  of  General  Appraisers  will  exercise  such  super- 
vision over  appraisements  and  classifications  at  the  several  ports  as  will  en- 
able them  to  observe  and  note  any  want  of  uniformity  and  any  irregularity 
of  procedure  in  such  matters,  and  report  the  same  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  for  his  action  thereupon. 

Records  in  Previous  Trials  as  Evidence. 

XXXIV.  Where  a  question  of  the  classification  of  imported  merchan- 
dise is  under  consideration  for  decision  by  any  one  of  the  Boards,  and  a  deci- 
sion has  been  previously  made  involving  the  classification  of  goods  substantially 
the  same  in  character,  the  record  and  testimony  taken  in  the  latter  case  may, 
within  the  discretion  of  the  Board,  be  admitted  as  evidence  in  the  pending 
case  on  motion  of  either  the  Government  or  the  importer,  or  on  the  Board's 
own  order;  Provided,  That  either  party  may  have  any  one  or  more  of  the 
witnesses  who  testified  in  such  case  summoned  for  re-examination  or  cross- 
examination,  as  the  case  may  be.  This  rule  shall  furthermore  apply  to  the 
printed  records  which  may  have  been  acted  on  by  the  courts  in  case  of  appeals

For  the  hearing  and  decision  of  such  reappraisement  cases  as  it  may  be 
important  to  hear  and  decide  during  the  months  of  July  and  August,  and  such

REGULATIONS  REGARDING  THE  DISINFECTION  OF  HIDES. 

A  certificate  signed  by  the  American  Consular  officer  for  the  district  from 
which  hides  are  shipped,  showing  disinfection,  will  be  required  upon  the  entry 
of  all  hides  of  neat  cattle  which  have  not  been  subjected  to  a  process  of  tanning, 
including  calf  skins  and  hide  cuttings  or  parings  or  glue  stock,  with  the  follow- 
ing exceptions  [which  exceptions  will  not  be  made,  however,  in  case  of  im- 
portations from  districts  where  anthrax  is  prevalent]. 

1.  Hides,  whether  wet  or  dry,  the  product  of  and  exported  from  any  port

TEA  REGULATIONS. 

Under  the  act  of  March  2,  1883,  Bonded  Warehouses  for  the  storage  of 
tea  were  established. 

One  of  the  provisions  of  the  Act  of  March  2,  1897,  provides  that  imported 
teas  are  to  be  stored  at  the  Bonded  Tea  Warehouses  awaiting  examination  by 
the  appraiser  in  order  to  determine  whether  such  teas  are  equal  to  the  standard 
prescribed  by  law  in  the  requisite  purity  and  fitness  for  consumption.  The 
tea  is  examined  at  the  Warehouse,  and  if  found  equal  to  the  legal  standard,  a 
permit  is  at  once  issued  declaring  the  tea  free  from  the  control  of  the  Customs 
authorities.  Whenever  the  tea  is  not  considered  equal  to  the  standard,  the 
same  is  not  released  unless  on  re-examination  called  by  the  importer  before  a 
board  of  three  General  Appraisers  the  decision  of  the  examiner  is  found  in 
error.  Tea  which  is  rejected  by  the  examiners  must  be  exported  within  six 
months  from  the  date  of  final  examination,  except  when  the  teas  have  been 
rejected  for  excessive  dust,  in  which  case  the  excessive  dust  is  destroyed  by  the 
Government,  but  the  importer  can  retain  the  balance  of  the  tea  with  the 
ten  per  cent  of  dust  allowed  by  law.  The  collector  must  cause  all  rejected  tea 
to  be  destroyed  if  not  exported  within  the  prescribed  period. 

The  law  provides  for  a  commission  of  seven  tea  experts  to  be  appointed 
annually  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  for  the  purpose  of  establishing 
standards  for  the  year.  Tea  that  contains  over  ten  per  cent  of  dust,  or  which 
does  not  come  up  to  the  standard  in  quality  cannot  be  imported. 

A  list  of  Special  Tea  Storage  Warehouses  can  be  obtained  at  the  Boston 
Custom  House.

HOW  TO  BECOME  A  BONDED  WAREHOUSE  PROPRIETOR. 

In  order  to  establish  a  bonded  warehouse  the  owner  or  the  lessee  shall  make 
application  in  writing  to  the  Collector  of  the  Port,  describing  the  premises 
and  location  and  stating  the  class  of  warehouse  which  it  is  proposed  to  bond. 
The  application  must  be  accompanied  by  a  certificate  signed  by  the  President 
or  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Fire  Underwriters,  where  such  Board  exists, 
and  other  parts  by  the  proper  officers  or  agents  of  two  or  more  insurance  com- 
panies that  the  building  offered  is  a  suitable  warehouse,  acceptable  for  fire 
insurance  purposes.  The  Collector  will  thereupon  direct  the  Superintendent 
of  Warehouses  to  examine  the  premises  and  report  in  writing  the  particulars 
relative  to  the  location,  construction  and  dimensions  of  the  building,  the  means 
provided  for  the  safe-keeping  of  merchandise,  whether  the  building  is  separated 
from  adjoining  buildings  by  approved  walls  in  which  there  is  no  door  or  other 
opening,  and  all  other  facts  bearirg  on  the  subject.  On  receipt  of  such  report 
the  Collector  will  transmit  the  same  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  together 
with  the  application,  the  insurance  certificates  and  an  expression  of  his  views 
thereon.  To  expedite  the  matter  bonds  may  be  executed  in  anticipation  of 
approval  and  transmitted  with  the  application,  and  on  approval  of  the  appli- 
cation a  bond  shall  be  executed  in  duplicate  on  the  prescribed  form  in  such 
penalty  and  with  such  security  as  the  Collector  may  deem  proper  and  sent  to 
the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  for  approval.

Class  3.     Warehouses  used  for  general  storage  of  imported  goods. 

Class  4.  Yards  or  sheds  for  the  storage  of  heavy  and  bulky  merchandise.

Sec.  23.  That  all  articles  manufactured  in  whole  or  in  part  of  imported 
materials,  or  of  materials  subject  to  internal  revenue  tax,  and  intended  for 
exportation  without  being  charged  with  duty  and  without  having  an  internal 
revenue  stamp  affixed  thereto  shall,  under  such  regulations  as  the  Secretary 
of  the  Treasury  may  prescribe,  in  order  to  be  so  manufactured  and  exported, 
be  made  and  manufactured  in  bonded  warehouses  similar  to  those  known  ana 
designated  in  Treasury  Regulations  as  bonded  warehouses,  class  six:  Pro- 
vided, That  the  manufacturer  of  such  articles  shall  first  give  satisfactory  bonds 
for  the  faithful  observance  of  all  the  provisions  of  law  and  of  such  regulations 
as  shall  be  prescribed  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury:  Provided  further. 
That  the  manufacturer  of  distilled  spirits  from  grain,  starch,  molasses  or  sugar, 
including  all  dilutions  or  mixtures  of  them  or  either  of  them,  shall  not  be  per- 
mitted in  such  manufacturing  warehouses. 

Whenever  goods  manufactured  in  any  bonded  warehouse  established 
under  the  provisions  of  the  preceding  paragraph  shall  be  exported  directly 
therefrom,  or  shall  be  duly  laden  for  transportation  and  immediate  exporta- 
tion under  the  supervision  of  the  proper  officer,  who  shall  be  duly  designated 
for  that  purpose,  such  goods  shall  be  exempt  from  duty  and  from  the  require- 
ments relating  to  the  revenue  stamps. 

Any  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  such  goods,  and  any  packages, 
coverings,  vessels,  brands,  and  labels  used  in  putting  up  the  same  may,  under 
the  regulations  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  be  conveyed  without  the 
payment  of  revenue  tax  or  duty,  into  any  bonded  manufacturing  warehouse, 
and  imported  goods  may,  under  the  aforesaid  regulations,  be  transferred  with- 
out the  exaction  of  duty  from  any  bonded  warehouse  into  any  bonded  manu- 
facturing warehouse;  but  this  privilege  shall  not  be  held  to  apply  to  imple- 
ments, machinery  or  apparatus  to  be  used  in  the  construction  or  repair  of  any 
bonded  manufacturing  warehouse,  or  for  the  prosecution  of  the  business  car- 
ried on  therein. 

No  articles  or  materials  received  into  such  bonded  manufacturing  ware- 
houses shall  be  withdrawn  or  removed  therefrom  except  for  direct  shipment 
and  exportation,  or  for  transportation  and  immediate  exportation  in  bond

officer  duly  designated  therefor  by  the  collector  of  the  port,  who  shall  certify 
to  such  shipment  and  exportation,  or  ladening  for  transportation,  as  the  case 
may  be,  describing  the  articles  by  their  mark  or  otherwise,  the  quantity,  the 
date  of  exportation,  and  the  name  of  vessel:  Provided,  That  the  waste  material 
or  by-products  incident  to  the  processes  of  manufacture  in  said  bonded  ware- 
houses may  be  withdrawn  for  domestic  consumption  on  the  payment  of  duty 
equal  to  the  duty  which  would  be  assessed  and  collected,  by  law,  if  such 
waste  or  by-products  were  imported  from  a  foreign  country.  All  labor  per- 
formed and  services  rendered  under  these  provisions  shall  be  under  the  super- 
vision of  a  duly  designated  officer  of  the  customs  and  at  the  expense  of  the 
manufacturer. 

A  careful  account  shall  be  kept  by  the  collector  of  all  merchandise  de- 
livered by  him  to  any  bonded  manufacturing  warehouse,  and  a  sworn  monthly 
return,  verified  by  the  customs  officers  in  charge,  shall  be  made  by  the  manu- 
facturers, containing  a  detailed  statement  of  all  imported  merchandise  used 
by  him  in  the  manufacture  of  exported  articles.

HOW  TO  BECOME  A  CUSTOMS  HOUSE  BROKER. 
(Public— No.  205,  S.  6173.) 
An  Act  to  License  Customs  house  Brokers. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United  States 
of  America  in  Congress  assembled,  That  the  collector  or  chief  officer  of  the  cus- 
toms at  any  port  of  entry  or  delivery  shall,  upon  application,  issue  to  any  per- 
son of  good  moral  character,  being  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  a  license  to 
transact  business  as  a  customs  house  broker  in  the  collection  district  in  which 
such  license  is  issued,  and  on  and  after  sixty  days  from  the  approval  of  this  Act 
no  person  shall  transact  business  as  a  customs  house  broker  without  a  license 
granted  in  accordance  with  this  provision;  but  this  Act  shall  not  be  so  con- 
strued as  to  prohibit  any  person  from  transacting  business  at  a  customs  house 
pertaining  to  his  own  importations. 

Sec.  2.  That  the  collector  or  chief  officer  of  the  customs  may  at  any 
time,  for  good  and  sufficient  reasons,  serve  notice  in  writing  upon  any  customs 
house  broker  so  licensed  to  show  cause  why  said  license  shall  not  be  revoked, 
which  notice  shall  be  in  the  form  of  a  statement  specifically  setting  forth  the 
grounds  of  complaint.  The  collector  or  chief  officer  of  customs  shall  within 
ten  days  thereafter  notify  the  customs  house  broker  in  writing  of  a  hearing 
to  be  held  before  him  within  five  days  upon  said  charges.  At  such  hearing 
the  customs  house  broker  may  be  represented  by  counsel,  and  all  proceedings, 
including  the  proof  of  the  charges  and  the  answer  thereto,  shall  be  presented, 
with  right  of  cross-examination  to  both  parties,  and  a  stenographic  record 
of  the  same  shall  be  made  and  a  copy  thereof  shall  be  delivered  to  the  customs 


house  broker.  At  the  conclusion  of  such  hearing  the  collector  or  chief  officer 
of  customs  shall  forthwith  transmit  all  papers  and  the  stenographic  report  of 
the  hearing,  which  shall  constitute  the  record  in  the  case,  to  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury  for  his  action.  Thereupon  the  said  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
shall  have  the  right  to  revoke  the  license  of  any  customs  house  broker,  in  which 
case  formal  notice  shall  be  given  such  customs  house  broker  within  ten  days. 

Sec.  3.  That  any  licensed  customs  house  broker  aggrieved  by  the  deci- 
sion of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  may,  within  thirty  days  thereafter,  and 
not  afterwards,  apply  to  the  United  States  circuit  court  for  the  circuit  in  which 
the  collection  district  is  situated  for  a  review  of  such  decision.  Such  applica- 
tion shall  be  made  by  filing  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  said  court  a  petition 
praying  relief  in  the  premises.  Thereupon  the  court  shall  immediately  give 
notice  in  writing  of  such  application  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  who  shall 
forthwith  transmit  to  said  court  the  record  and  evidence  taken  in  the  case, 
together  with  a  statement  of  his  decision  therein.  The  filing  of  such  applica- 
tion shall  operate  as  a  stay  of  the  revocation  of  the  license.  The  matter  may 
be  brought  on  to  be  heard  before  the  said  court  in  the  same  manner  as  a  mo- 
tion, by  either  the  United  States  district  attorney  or  the  attorney  for  the 
customs  house  broker,  and  the  decision  of  said  United  States  circuit  court 
for  the  circuit  in  which  the  collection  district  is  situated  shall  be  upon  the 
merits  as  disclosed  by  the  record  and  be  final,  and  the  proceedings  be  remanded 
to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  for  further  action  to  be  taken  in  accordance 
with  the  terms  of  the  decree. 

Sec.  4.  That  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  shall  prescribe  regulations 
necessary  or  convenient  for  carrying  this  Act  into  effect. 

Sec.  5.  That  the  word  person  wherever  used  in  this  Act  shall  include 
persons,  co-partnerships,  associations,  joint  stock  associations,  and  corpora- 
tions. 

Approved  June  10, 1910. 

REGULATIONS. 

1.  The  term  "customs  house  broker"  shall  be  taken  to  include  all  per- 
sons, firms,  co-partnerships,  corporations,  associations,  or  joint-stock  asso- 
ciations transacting  customs  business  at  a  customs  house  in  behalf  of  other 
persons  generally. 

2.  Any  person  who  is  a  citizen  of  the  United  States  may  be  licensed 
as  a  customs  broker  upon  application  to  the  chief  officer  of  the  customs  at 
the  port  where  the  business  is  to  be  transacted,  provided  that  officer  shall  be 
satisfied  that  such  person  is  of  good  moral  character. 

3.  Firms  or  co-partnerships,  and  corporations,  associations,  or  joint- 
stock  associations  may  be  so  licensed,  provided  that  all  of  the  members  of 
the  firm  or  co-partnership  have  been  duly  licensed  as  customs  brokers,  or,  in 
the  case  of  a  corporation,  association,  or  joint-stock  association,  provided 
that  the  officers,  agents,  or  attorneys  designated  to  represent  the  same  have 
been  so  licensed. 

4.  Individuals,  firms,  co-partnerships,  corporations,  associations,  or 
joint-stock  associations,  or  their  employees,  officers,  agents,  or  attorneys 
transacting  business  at  a  customs  house  pertaining  solely  to  their  own  im- 
portations or  exportations  are  not  required  to  be  licensed. 

90 


5.  Employees  of  duly  licensed  brokers  will  not  be  required  to  be  licensed 
to  act  solely  for  their  employers.  All  customs  brokers  shall  file,  however, 
with  the  chief  officer  of  the  customs  at  the  port  where  the  business  is  to  be 
transacted  an  authorization  specifically  naming  each  employee  who  may 
transact  customs  business  on  behalf  of  such  broker.  Brokers  will  be  required 
to  promptly  give  notice  of  any  changes  in  such  employees;  to  exercise  such 
discipline  as  will  insure  proper  conduct  on  the  part  of  their  employees  in  the 
transaction  of  customs  business,  and  will  be  held  strictly  responsible  for  the 
acts  of  such  employees. 

6.  The  application  for  license  to  transact  business  as  a  customs  house 
broker  will  be  substantially  in  the  following  form :

INFORMATION  UPON  SHIPPING  BETWEEN  THE  UNITED 
STATES  AND  THE  PHILIPPINE  ISLANDS. 


SHIPMENTS  OF  DOMESTIC  PRODUCTS  TO  THE  PHILIPPINE 
ISLANDS  BY  EXPRESS  OR  FREIGHT. 


Certificates  of  origin  may  be  placed  on  commercial  invoices.  Separate 
or  independent  certificates  bearing  Notarial  Seal  no  longer  required  for  Cus- 
toms purposes. 

In  lieu  of  certificates  of  origin  required  under  former  regulations  to  insure 
exemption  from  customs  duties  m  the  Philippine  Islands  of  shipments  from  the 
United  States  of  all  articles,  except  rice,  the  growth,  product,  or  manufacture 
of  the  United  States  and  its  possessions  to  which  the  customs  tariff  in  force  in 
the  United  States  is  applied,  and  upon  which  no  drawback  of  customs  duties 
has  been  allowed  in  the  United  States,*  signed  commercial  invoices  will  after 
date  hereof  be  accepted  for  free-entry  purposes  upon  full  compliance  with  the 
following  conditions: 

Commercial  invoices  shall  be  furnished  in  duplicate  and  shall  contain  an 
accurate  description  of  the  merchandise  itemized  therein,  showing  the  quantity, 
value,  and  weight,  marks  and  numbers  of  packages  and  place  of  destination. 
Their  presentation  by  consignees  is  required  to  effect  customs  clearance  of 
importations  into  the  Philippine  Islands  from  the  United  States  and  its  pos- 
sessions by  freight,  express,  through  the  mails,  in  the  baggage  of  passengers, 
or  by  any  other  means:  Provided,  That  collectors  of  customs  may,  in  their 
discretion,  waive  the  production  of  invoices  for  household  or  private  effects 
of  nominal  value. 

The  original  and  duplicate  invoices  for  merchandise  the  growth,  product, 
or  manufacture  of  the  United  States  shall  have  the  following  certificate  printed, 
written,  typewritten,  or  stamped  thereon: 

I  hereby  certify  that  the  above-described  articles  are  of  the  growth, 
product,  or  manufacture  of  the  United  States,  or  its  possessions,  and  that  no 
drawback  of  import  duties  has  been  or  will  be  claimed  thereon,  and  that  this 
invoice  is  true  and  correct  in  all  particulars. 

♦Commercial  invoices  are  required  under  the  provisions  of  section  18  of  the  act  of  Congress 
approved  August  5,  1909,  known  as  the  "Customs  tariff  of  the  Philippine  Islands,"  for  all 
articles  imported  into  the  Philippine  Islands  from  the  United  States,  although  exporters  in 
the  United  States  have,  in  some  instances,  erroneously  interpreted  paragraph  9  of  United 
States  Treasury  Department  Circular  No.  37,  dated  Washington,  August  10,  1909,  and  reading 
in  part,  "This  certificate  (certificate  of  origin)  will  be  accepted  by  the  Philippine  Government 
in  lieu  of  any  other  official  invoice,"  to  mean  that  signed  commercial  invoices  are  not  required. 
This  is  not  the  case,  however,  as  the  official  invoice  referred  to  meant  the  consular  —  or  the 
equivalent  of  a  consular  —  invoice  bearing,  instead  of  a  United  States  consul's  signature,  the 
certificate  of  a  United  States  commissioner,  collector,  or  deputy  collector  of  customs,  such  a? 
were  required  under  the  provisions  of  the  Philippine  tariff  law  of  1905. 

95 


This  certificate  shall  be  signed  on  both  original  and  duplicate  invoices 
by  the  manufacturer,  seller,  or  consignor  of  the  merchandise,  or  by  a  duly 
authorized  agent  of  such  seller,  manufacturer,  or  consignor,  and  both  invoices 
(except  for  shipments  by  post)  shall  be  mailed  to  the  consignee  of  the  mer- 
chandise for  filing  with  the  customs  entry  pertaining  to  the  importation. 

When  shipments  consist  of  both  American  and  foreign  products  the  arti- 
cles shall,  if  not  separately  invoiced,  be  segregated  and  their  origin  clearly 
indicated  on  the  invoice  —  the  American  by  the  certificate  prescribed  in  the 
preceding  paragraph,  the  foreign  by  the  notation  "foreign  goods.'' 

Merchandise  of  the  growth,  product,  or  manufacture  of  the  United  States 
and  its  possessions  may  be  admitted  to  immediate  free  entry  in  cases  where 
the  certified  commercial  invoices  prescribed  herein  have  been  delayed  in  tran- 
sit or  are  not  available  at  the  time  of  entry,  upon  the  filing  of  a  bond  by  the 
consignee  in  a  sum  equal  to  double  the  amount  of  duties  that  would  accrue 
upon  a  like  importation  of  foreign  merchandise,  with  sureties  acceptable  to 
the  collector  of  customs,  conditioned  on  the  production  of  the  corresponding 
certified  invoices  within  120  days  from  the  date  of  filing  the  entry  for  the 
merchandise. 

Invoices  in  duplicate,  certified  as  provided  in  Paragraph  III  hereof,  are 
required  for  all  articles  and  merchandise  received  through  the  mails  from  the 
United  States  (except  for  consignments  of  one  or  more  packages  the  value  of 
which  does  not  exceed  ten  (10)  dollars  United  States  currency).  To  insure 
prompt  delivery,  the  original  invoice  offsuch  shipments  should  be  mailed  to 
the  postmaster,  Manila,  whether  the  corresponding  package  is  addressed  to 
Manila  or  to  some  other  point  in  the  Philippine' Islands;  the  duplicate  invoice 
should  be  mailed  to  the  addressee. 

Invoices  for  mail  shipments  may  cover  any  number  of  packages  bearing 
the  same  address  and  mailed  on  the  same  date. 

Note.  Customs  clearance  of  mail  packages  will  be  facilitated  if  merchandise  of  the 
United  States  and  articles  of  foreign  manufacture  are  packed  in  separate  packages  and  prop- 
erly segregated  in  the  invoices. 


Shipments  of  Domestic  Products  to  the  Philippine  Islands  by  Freight  or  Express. 

A  certificate  of  a  customs  officer  as  to  drawback  will  not  be  issued  for 
shipments  of  domestic  products  to  the  Philippine  Islands  by  freight  or  express. 
Only  a  certificate  of  origin  to  be  executed  by  the  shipper  in  the  following  form 
and  forwarded  by  him  direct  to  the  collector  of  customs  at  the  port  of  entry

The  residence  of  a  wife  follows  that  of  the  husband;  and  the  residence  of  a 
minor  child  follows  that  of  its  parents. 

Goods  Other  than  Personal  Effects. 

Household  effects  of  persons  or  families  from  foreign  countries  will  be 
admitted  free  of  duty  only  if  actually  used  abroad  by  them  not  less  than  one 
year,  and  if  not  intended  for  any  other  person,  nor  for  sale.  Such  effects 
should  be  declared  whether  the  passenger  be  a  resident  or  a  non-resident  of  the 
United  States. 

Articles  intended  for  use  in  business,  or  for  other  persons,  theatrical 
apparel,  properties,  and  sceneries,  must  be  declared  by  passengers,  whether 
residents  or  non-residents. 

Cigars  and  Cigarettes. 

All  cigars  and  cigarettes  must  be  declared.  Each  passenger  over  eighteen 
years  of  age  may  bring  in  free  of  duty  fifty  cigars  or  three  hundred  cigarettes 
if  for  the  bona  fide  use  of  such  passenger.  Such  cigars  and  cigarettes  will  be 
in  addition  to  the  articles  included  within  the  $100  exemption. 

103 


Baggage  Declarations. 

The  law  provides  that  every  person  entering  the  United  States  shall  make 
a  declaration  and  entry  of  his  or  her  personal  baggage.  The  law  further 
requires  that  the  values  of  articles  shall  be  determined  by  customs  officers, 
irrespective  of  the  statements  of  passengers  relative  thereto. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  there  is  no  discourtesy  in  the  requirement  that 
both  a  declaration  and  an  independent  appraisal  shall  be  made.  Taken  to- 
gether, these  requirements  place  the  passenger  in  the  same  position  as  any 
other  importer  of  merchandise. 

Passengers  should  observe  that  on  the  sheet  given  them  there  are  two  forms  of 
declarations;  the  one  printed  in  black  is  for  residents  of  the  United  States;  the  one 
in  red,  for  nonresidents. 

The  exact  number  of  pieces  of  baggage,  including  all  trunks,  valises,  boxes, 
packages,  and  hand  bags  of  any  description  accompanying  the  passenger,  must 
be  stated  in  the  declaration. 

The  senior  member  of  a  family,  present  as  a  passenger,  may  make  declara- 
tion for  the  entire  family. 

Ladies  traveling  alone  should  state  that  fact  in  their  declarations  in  order 
that  an  expeditious  examination  of  their  baggage  may  be  made. 

When  the  declaration  is  prepared  and  signed,  the  coupon  at  the  bottom  of 
the  form  must  be  detached  and  retained  by  the  passenger,  and  the  form  given 
to  the  officer  of  the  ship  designated  to  receive  the  same.  A  declaration  spoiled 
in  its  preparation  must  not  be  destroyed,  but  turned  over  to  the  purser,  who 
will  furnish  a  new  blank  to  the  passenger. 

After  all  the  baggage  and  effects  of  the  passenger  have  been  landed  upon 
the  pier,  the  coupon  which  has  been  retained  by  the  passenger  must  be  pre- 
sented at  the  inspector's  desk,  whereupon  an  inspector  will  be  detailed  to 
examine  the  baggage.  Passengers  must  acknowledge  in  person,  on  the  pier, 
their  signature  to  their  declarations. 

Examination  of  any  baggage  may  be  postponed  if  the  passenger  requests 
the  officer  taking  his  declaration  to  have  it  sent  to  the  appraiser's  store. 

Passengers  must  not  deduct  the  $100  exemption  in  making  out  their 
declarations.    Such  deductions  will  be  made  by  customs  officers  on  the  pier. 

Contested  Valuation. 
Passengers  dissatisfied  with  values  placed  upon  dutiable  articles  by 
the  customs  officers  on  the  pier  may  demand  a  re-examination,  but  application 
therefor  should  be  immediately  made  to  the  officers  there  in  charge.  If  for 
any  reason  this  course  is  impracticable,  the  packages  containing  the  articles 
should  be  left  in  customs  custody  and  application  for  reappraisement  made  to 
the  collector  of  customs,  in  writing,  within  ten  days  after  the  original  appraise- 
ment. No  request  for  reappraisement  can  be  entertained  after  the  articles  have 
been  removed  from  customs  custody. 

Miscellaneous  Provisions. 

Currency  (or  certified  checks  after  June  1,  1911)  only  can  be  accepted  in 
payment  of  duties,  but,  upon  request,  baggage  will  be  retained  on  the  piers  for 
twenty-four  hours  to  enable  the  owner  to  secure  currency  or  certified  checks. 

104 


The  offering  or  gratuities  or  bribes  to  customs  officers  is  a  violation  of  law. 
Customs  officers  who  accept  gratuities  or  bribes  will  be  dismissed  from  the 
service,  and  all  parties  concerned  will  be  liable  to  criminal  prosecution. 

Discourtesy  or  incivility  on  the  part  of  customs  officers  should  be  reported 
to  the  collector  at  the  customhouse,  to  the  deputy  collector  or  the  deputy 
surveyor  at  the  pier,  or  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury. 

Baggage  for  Transportation  in  Bond. 

Baggage  intended  for  delivery  at  ports  in  the  United  States  other  than 
the  port  of  arrival,  or  in  transit  through  the  United  States  to  a  foreign  country, 
may  be  forwarded  thereto  without  the  assessment  of  duty  at  the  port  of 
arrival,  by  the  various  railroads  and  express  companies,  whose  representatives 
will  be  found  on  the  pier. 

Passengers  desiring  to  have  their  baggage  forwarded  in  bond  should 
indicate  such  intention  and  state  the  value  thereof  in  their  declarations  before 
any  examination  of  the  baggage  has  been  made. 

Sealskin  Garments.  , 

An  act  of  Congress  of  1897,  as  amended  in  1910,  expressly  forbids  the 
importation  into  the  United  States  of  garments  made  in  whole  or  in  part  of  the 
skins  of  seals  taken  in  the  waters  of  the  Pacific  Ocean;  and  unless  the  owner  is 
able  to  establish  by  competent  evidence  and  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  collector 
that  the  garments  are  not  prohibited,  they  cannot  be  admitted. 

Penalty  for  not  Declaring  Articles  Obtained  Abroad. 

Under  Section  2802  and  3082  of  the  Revised  Statutes  of  the  United 
States,  articles  obtained  abroad  and  not  declared  are  subject  to  seizure,  and 
the  passenger  is  liable  to  criminal  prosecution.

DISTINCTIVE  SERVICE 

In   settling   an   estate,   when   you   are   appointed 
Executor  or  Administrator,  you  will  gain  substantial 
advantage  by  having  the  necessary  work  done  by  our 
Trust  Department. 

Owing  to  the  different  inheritance  tax  laws  in  the  several  States, 
the  transferring  of  securities  is  often  a  very  burdensome  task.  Then 
there  is  also  considerable  book-keeping  involved  and  proper  receipts 
must  be  obtained  for  the  payment  of  legacies. 

Why  not  have  our  Trust  Department  perform  this  service,  while 
the  estate  is  in  your  hands,  and  thus  relieve  you  from  these  annoy- 
ing details.

Arthur  L.  Sullivan 
Chief  of  Food  and  Drug  Inspection  Laboratory 

Assistants 

Edmund  Clark  Alpheus  G.  Woodman 

Frank  O.  Woodruff 

The  duties  of  this  department  are  administered  in  co-operation  with  the 
Appraisers'  and  Collectors'  Departments  of  Customs  Service. 

All  imports  of  food,  drugs  and  insecticide  are  submitted  by  the  Appraiser 
to  the  Laboratory  for  examination.  This  examination  may  either  be  for 
adulteration  or  misbranding,  as  provided  for  under  the  Food  and  Drugs  Act, 
and  Insecticide  Act.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Laboratory,  the  merchandise 
requires  examination  or  analysis,  the  importer  or  his  agent  is  notified  that 
samples  have  been  taken  from  the  examination  packages  at  the  Appraisers' 
Stores.  The  costs  of  these  samples  are  paid  within  thirty  days,  upon  presenta- 
tion of  the  proper  voucher  to  the  Chief  of  the  Laboratory.  Pending  this 
examination,  the  importer  or  owner  of  the  merchandise,  should  not  dispose  of 
any  of  the  goods  on  this  invoice  under  provisions  of  the  penal  bond,  even 
though  they  have  been  delivered  from  the  dock. 

Immediately  upon  completion  of  the  analysis,  opportunity  is  given  to 
present  evidence,  if  the  importation  is  in  any  way  contrary  to  law. 

In  case  of  misbranding,  an  opportunity  is  usually  given  the  importer  to 
correct  or  amend  the  label. 

If  the  result  of  the  analysis  shows  that  the  goods  are  adulterated,  appeal 
can  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Food  and  Drug  Inspection,  at  Washington.  If 
an  unfavorable  decision  is  rendered  by  this  Board,  and  the  merchant  is  required 
to  export  the  goods,  a  refund  is  made  of  the  duty  paid  thereon. 

Information  concerning  the  status  of  food  shipments  detained  by  the 
Laboratory  and  reported  to  the  Collector  can  be  found  at  Desk  No.  8,  in  the 
Inward  Foreign  Department  of  the  Collector's  Office.

attract  attention.  After  this  warning  the  longer  blasts  (of  from  four  to  six 
seconds'  duration)  refer  to  weather,  and  shorter  blasts  (of  from  one  to  three 
seconds'  duration)  refer  to  temperature;  those  for  weather  are  sounded  first. 

One  long  blast  indicates  fair  weather. 

Two  long  blasts  indicate  rain  or  snow. 

Three  long  blasts  indicate  local  rain  or  snow. 

One  short  blast  indicates  lower  temperature. 

Two  short  blasts  indicate  higher  temperature. 

Three  short  blasts  indicate  cold  wave. 

By  repeating  each  combination  a  few  times,  with  intervals  of  ten  seconds, 
liability  to  error  injreading  the  signals  may  be  avoided.

BOSTON  NAVY  YARD. 

The  Navy  Yard  at  Boston  is  situated  at  the  confluence  of  the  Charles  and 
Mystic  Rivers,  on  land  formerly  known  as  "Moulton's  Point,"  where  British 
troops  landed  for  the  Battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  Jurisdiction  was  ceded  by  the 
State  of  Massachusetts  to  the  United  States  in  1800,  over  an  area  of  65  acres, 
and  there  was  purchased  for  the  Government  in  that  year,  by  Dr.  Aaron  Put- 
nam, 35  acres  for  $37,356.  This  area  has  been  increased  by  subsequent  pur- 
chases of  5186  square  feet  from  Captain  Isaac  Hull,  August  15,  1817,  for 
$3,889.50,  and  115,210^  square  feet  from  Oakman  and  Eldridge,  June  1, 
1863,  for  $123,100.  This,  with  the  filling  in  of  the  flats  and  marshes  makes  an 
area  of  8734  acres  (in  1880)  and  it  has  been  increased  since  then. 

It  is  surrounded  on  the  land  side  with  a  substantial  granite  wall  twelve 
feet  high,  that  was  built  in  1825-26. 

There  are  now  inside  the  walls  about  ninety  buildings,  besides  numerous 
outhouses  and  temporary  buildings.  The  oldest  building  now  standing  is  No. 
5,  built  in  1803,  of  brick,  for  a  storehouse,  offices,  sail-loft,  etc.,  now  occupied 
in  part  by  the  Naval  Library  and  Institute,  Museum,  Court-Martial  room, 
Labor  Board  and  Receiving  Ship  offices. 

The  dwelling  house  for  the  Commandant  was  finished  in  1809.  The 
Commandant's  office  is  located  in  building  No.  39;  which  building  is  now  known 
as  the  Administration  Building.  Samuel  Nicholson  was  the  first  Command- 
ant (1800-1811). 

Four  brick  dwelling  houses  facing  the  old  Salem  Turnpike  (now  Chelsea 
Street)  were  first  occupied  in  1826.  They  are  now  allotted  to  the  Captain  of 
the  Yard,  Civil  Engineer,  Chief  Engineer  Officer,  and  Senior  Surgeon  of  the 
Yard.  The  five  brick  dwelling  houses  near  the  main  gate,  western  entrance, 
were  erected  in  1833,  for  the  Warrant  Officers.  They  are  now  occupied  by  the 
Commandant's  Aide,  Naval  Constructor,  Inspection  Officer,  Steam  Engineer 
Officer  and  General  Storekeeper. 

The  Marine  Barracks  occupies  an  area,  including  the  parade  ground,  of  1| 
acres  and  can  accommodate  250  marines,  with  the  necessary  complement  of 
officers  and  officers'  quarters. 

148 


The  Pharmacist  has  quarters  oyer  the  Dispensary  and  the  Post  Master 
lives  in  the  brick  house  next  the  main  gate. 

The  Rope  Walk  is  the  finest  in  the  country;  it  was  built  in  1836,  of  rough 
ashear  granite;  it  runs  parallel  with  the  wall  on  Chelsea  Street,  and  is  1360 
feet  long,  with  a  laying  ground  of  1253  feet  by  45  —  capable  of  manufacturing 
2500  tons  per  year  of  all  kinds  and  sizes  of  rope. 

The  Dry  Dock  (the  small  one)  was  begun  July  10,  1817,  under  the  super- 
intendence of  Laomi  Baldwin,  and  finished  in  June,  1833.  It  is  built  of  ham- 
mered granite  in  a  substantial  manner,  with  a  great  arch  60  feet  in  width. 
It  was  extended  (1857-58)  65  feet  in  length,  making  its  total  length  370  feet 
and  its  entire  cost  $993,915.  The  "Constitution"  ('  'Old  Ironsides")  was  the 
first  vessel  put  into  this  dock  (June  24,  1833). 

The  large  Dry  Dock  was  about  five  years  in  construction.  Its  length 
on  coping  is  750  feet;  length  on  floor  729  feet;  width  on  coping  114  feet;  width 
on  floor  72  feet.  Draft  on  sill  30  feet.  It  was  designed  by  Civil  Engineer 
Parks,  U.  S.  N.,  and  cost  more  than  $1,125,000. 

No  less  than  fifty  ships-of-war  have  been  launched  at  this  Yard.  The 
"Frolic,"  in  1813,  was  the  first  one;  also  "Independence,"  "Alligator," 
"Boston,"  "Warren,"  "Falmouth,"  "Boxer,"  "Porpoise,"  "Pioneer,"  "Con- 
sort," "Cyane,"  "Marion,"  "Bainbridge,"  "Erie,"  "Cumberland,"  "Ply- 
mouth," "Vermont,"  "Princeton,"  "Merrimac,"  "Hartford,"  "Narragan- 
sett,"  "Wachusetts,"  "Housatonic,"  "Maritanza,"  "Cannadaigia,"  "Gen- 
esee," "Tioga,"  "Tallapoosa,"  "Pequot,"  "Winooski,"  "Saco,"  "Monad- 
nock,"  "Ammonnosuc,"  "Guerriere,"  "Manitou,"  "Nantasket,"  "Alaska," 
"Inrepit,"  "Vandalia,"  "Virginia,"  "Connecticut,"  "Oregon,"  "Pennsyl- 
vania," "Apprentice,"  "John  Hancock,"  "Bibb,"  "Cohasset,  "Blue  Light," 
and  others. 

The  Naval  Library  and  Institute  (Museum)  is  in  Building  No.  5,  second 
floor.  Instituted  1842;  incorporated  1859,  "for  the  advancement  of  Naval 
Science  and  for  the  mental  instruction  of  the  members  thereof  in  whatever  re- 
lates to  the  subject."  "A  collection  of  works  on  General  and  Naval  Litera- 
ture and  Science;  a  place  for  deposit  of  paintings,  engravings,  maps  and  charts 
—  for  cabinet  curiosities  of  Natural  History,  of  models  of  Naval  Architecture 
and  machinery  connected  with  the  Naval  profession  —  specimens  of  useful 
inventions  in  those  arts  and  sciences  which  relate  to  navigation  and  nautical 
science."     This  respectable  and  curious  collection  has  been  entirely  donated. 

The  Library  has  been  used  as  a  court-martial  room  since  November  30, 
1866. 

The  U.S.S.  "North  Carolina"  (armored  cruiser,  20  guns,  14,500  tons, 
23,000  horsepower,  twin  screws)  is  now  performing  the  duty  of  receiving  ship 
at  this  station.  She  is  the  sixth  receiving  ship  that  has  done  duty  in  Boston 
Harbor.  First,  "Columbus;"  second,  "Franklin;"  third,  "Ohio;"  fourth, 
"Wabash;"  fifth,   "Salem." 

CHAIN  SHOP. 

All  the  chain  for  the  Navy  is  made  at  the  Boston  Yard.  The  largest 
and  strongest  chain  made  in  this  country  is  made  here.  The  shop  is  equipped 
with  an  eight  hundred  thousand  pounds  machine  for  making  chains.

YARD  PAY  ROLL. 

An  average  taken  from  the  four  months,  October,  November,  Decem- 
ber and  January,  shows  an  expenditure  on  labor  roll  alone  of  $115,974. 

Average  number  of  employees  on  labor  roll,  2225;  of  these  200  are 
classified  and  1825  are  unclassified  laborers. 


INFORMATION  CONCERNING  THE  USE  OF  THE  NAVY  YARD  DRY 

DOCK. 

(Article  926  —  Paragraphs  3  and  4  —  Navy  Regulations.) 

No  work  shall  be  done  by  the  Government  force  at  a  Navy  Yard  or  sta- 
tion for  private  individuals  or  corporations,  except  by  authority  of  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Navy  upon  an  application  specifying  the  nature  of  the  work  to 
be  done,  and  accompanied  by  a  certificate  from  the  commandant  that  the 
necessary  labor  or  appliances  cannot  be  procured  in  the  vicinity  from  private 
contractors. 

When  work  is  authorized  at  a  Navy  Yard  or  station  for  private  parties, 
they  shall  deposit  with  the  paymaster  of  the  yard  a  sum  sufficient  to  cover 
the  estimated  expenses  to  be  incurred.  The  total  cost  shall  be  defrayed  from 
such  deposit.  The  special  deposit  for  payment  shall  be  made  by  check,  pay- 
able to  the  order  of  the  commandant  of  the  yard  or  station,  and  by  him 
endorsed  to  the  paymaster  of  the  yard. 

It  is  suggested  that  the  best  procedure  would  be  to  first  apply  to  the 
commandant  of  the  Navy  Yard,  who  would  forward  the  application  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Navy,  either  by  mail  or  telegraph,  as  the  case  required, 
together  with  his  recommendation.

sequent saving  of  time  in  delivery.

The  local  rate  is  applicable  to  parcels  intended  for  delivery  within  the  Boston 
Postal  District  or  on  a  rural  route  starting  therefrom. 


153 


The  parcel  post  rate  between  any  point  in  the  United  States  and  any 
point  in  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  the  United  States  Postal  Agency  at  Shanghai, 
and  any  point  in  Alaska,  except  for  parcels  weighing  four  ounces  or  less,  on 
which  the  rate  is  one  cent  for  each  ounce  or  fraction  thereof,  shall  be  twelve 
cents  for  the  first  pound  and  twelve  cents  for  each  additional  pound  or  fraction 
thereof.  These  rates  also  apply  to  parcels  mailed  in  the  United  States  for 
delivery  in  the  Canal  Zone,  and  to  parcels  between  the  Philippine  Islands  and 
any  portion  of  the  United  States. 

Seeds,  cuttings,  bulbs,  roots,  scions,  and  plants  are  matter  of  the  fourth 
class,  notwithstanding  that  a  special  rate  of  postage  (one  cent  for  each  two 
ounces  or  fraction  thereof,  regardless  of  distance)  applies  thereto.  The  limit 
of  weight  is  increased  to  eleven  pounds  by  the  parcel  post  law,  but  no  other 
change  is  made. 

Cut  flowers,  dried  plants,  and  botanical  specimens  not  susceptible  of 
propagation  are  transmissible  at  parcel  post  rates. 

Samples  of  wheat  or  other  grain  in  its  natural  condition,  potatoes,  beans, 
peas,  chestnuts,  acorns,  etc.,  when  intended  for  planting,  must  be  prepaid 
at  the  special  rate  of  one  cent  for  each  two  ounces  or  fraction  thereof,  regard- 
less of  distance,  but  when  intended  to  be  used  as  food,  the  parcel  post  rates 
apply. 

DISTINCTIVE  STAMPS. 

All  parcel  post  matter  must  be  prepaid  by  distinctive  stamps  affixed, 
and  postmasters  are  forbidden  to  accept  for  mailing  parcels  that  do  not  bear 
such  stamps. 

The  distinctive  parcel  post  stamp  cannot  be  used  for  postage  on  matter 
of  the  first,  second  or  third  classes;  when  so  used,  the  matter  will  be  treated 
as  "  Held  for  Postage." 

Ordinary  postage  stamps  cannot  be  used  on  parcel  post  matter.  When  a 
parcel  bears  ordinary  postage  stamps,  it  will  be  marked  "Held  for  Postage," 
and  the  addressee  immediately  notified.  If  the  required  postage  is  received, 
parcel  post  stamps  will  be  affixed  and  the  parcel  dispatched.  If  the  required 
postage  is  received  from  neither  the  addressee  or  the  sender,  within  two  weeks, 
the  package  will  be  marked  "Unclaimed"  and  sent  to  the  Division  of  Dead 
Letters  at  Washington. 

WHERE  MAILABLE. 

Parcels  must  be  mailed  at  a  post  office,  branch  post  office  or  station, 
or  such  numbered  stations  as  may  be  designated  by  the  postmaster,  or  de- 
livered to  a  rural  or  other  carrier  duly  authorized  to  receive  such  matter. 

PREPARATION  FOR  MAILING. 

Parcels  must  be  prepared  for  mailing  in  such  manner  that  the  contents 
can  be  easily  examined  and  must  not  be  accepted  for  mailing  unless  it  bears 
the  name  and  address  of  the  sender  preceded  by  the  word  "From."  It  is 
permissible  to  write  or  print  on  the  covering  of  a  parcel,  or  a  on  tag  or  label 
attached  to  it,  the  business  card  of  the  sender,  a  brief  description  of  the  char- 
acter of  the  parcel  and  such  inscriptions  as  "  Merry  Christmas,"  "  Please  do 
not  open  until  Christmas,"  "  Happy  New  Year,"  "With  Best  Wishes,"  etc., 
in  such  manner  as  not  to  interfere  with  the  address. 

154 


EXAMINATION  OF  PARCELS. 

When  any  parcel  is  sealed  or  otherwise  closed  against  inspection,  it  is 
subject  to  the  first-class  rate  of  postage  and  is  unmailable  if  it  weighs  more 
than  four  pounds.  If  a  parcel  contains  both  third  and  fourth  class  matter, 
and  the  rate  of  postage  at  the  third-class  rate  exceeds  the  rate  of  postage 
chargeable  under  the  graduated  zone  rate,  or  parcel  post  rate,  the  parcel  will 
be  charged  with  postage  at  the  third-class  rate  and  must  not  exceed  four  pounds 
in  weight,  unless  it  is  a  single  book. 

LIMIT  OF  WEIGHT  AND  SIZE. 

Parcels  weighing  more  than  eleven  pounds  or  measuring  more  than 
seventy-two  inches  in  length  and  girth  combined  will  be  refused  for  mailing 

UNMAILABLE  MATTER. 

The  following  are  among  those  articles  declared  unmailable;  intoxicat- 
ing liquors  of  any  kind;  poisons  of  every  kind;  poisonous  animals,  insects  or 
reptiles;  inflammable  materials;  explosives  of  every  kind;  infernal  machines, 
and  mechanical,  chemical,  or  other  devices  or  compositions  which  may  ignite 
or  explode;  pistols  or  revolvers,  whether  in  detached  parts  or  otherwise;  live 
or  dead  (and  not  stuffed)  animals,  birds  or  poultry  (except  queen  bees,  live 
insects,  and  dried  reptiles  mailed  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture,  and  fresh  meats,  dressed  fowls,  fish  and  articles 
of  a  similar  nature  mailed  for  local  delivery). 

FRAGILE  MATTER. 

Fragile  articles,  such  as  millinery,  toys,  musical  instruments,  etc.,  and 
articles  consisting  wholly  or  in  part  of  glass,  or  contained  in  glass,  must  be 
securely  packed  and  the  parcel  stamped  or  labeled  "Fragile." 

PERISHABLE  MATTER. 

Parcels  containing  perishable  articles  must  be  marked  "Perishable." 
Articles  likely  to  spoil  within  the  time  reasonably  required  for  transporta- 
tion and  delivery  must  not  be  accepted  for  mailing . 

Butter,  lard,  and  perishable  articles  such  as  fish,  fresh  meats,  dressed 
fowls,  vegetables,  fruits,  berries  and  articles  of  a  similar  nature  which  decay 
quickly,  when  so  packed  or  wrapped  as  to  prevent  damage  to  other  mail  mat- 
ter, will  be  accepted  for  local  delivery,  either  at  the  office  of  mailing  or  on  any 
rural  route  starting  therefrom.  When  enclosed  in  an  inner  cover  and  a  strong 
outer  cover  of  wood,  metal,  heavy  corrugated  pasteboard,  or  other  suitable 
material,  and  wrapped  so  that  nothing  can  escape  from  the  package,  they  will 
be  accepted  for  mailing  to  all  offices  within  the  first  zone. 

Butter,  lard,  or  any  admissible  greasy  or  oily  substance,  when  intended 
for  delivery  at  offices  beyond  the  first  zone  must  be  packed  in  a  glass  or  metal 
container,  inclosed  in  a  block  or  tube  of  metal,  wood,  papier-mache,  or  similar 
material,  surrounded  by  a  cushion  of  cotton,  felt  or  other  absorbent,  the  block

or  tube  to  be  rendered  watertight  by  an  application  of  paraffine  or  other  suit-

Vegetables  and  fruits  which  do  not  decay  quickly  will  be  accepted  for 
mailing  to  any  zone  if  packed  so  as  to  prevent  damage  to  other  mail  matter. 

Eggs  will  be  accepted  for  local  delivery  when  so  packed  in  a  basket  or 
other  container  as  to  prevent  damage  to  other  mail  matter. 

Eggs  will  be  accepted  for  mailing  regardless  of  distance  when  each  egg 
is  wrapped  separately  and  surrounded  with  excelsior,  cotton,  or  other  suitable 
material  and  packed  in  a  container  made  of  double  corrugated  pasteboard, 
metal,  wood,  or  other  suitable  material  in  such  manner  as  to  place  each  egg 
on  its  end  and  to  prevent  them  from  striking  together  or  against  the  side  or 
top  of  the  container,  with  an  outer  cover  of  double  corrugated  pasteboard, 
metal,  wood,  or  other  suitable  material  and  wrapped  so  that  nothing  can 
escape  from  the  package.     All  such  parcels  must  be  labeled  "Eggs." 

Postmasters  must  refuse  to  receive  for  mailing  parcels  not  properly  in- 
dorsed, or  packed  for  safe  shipment. 

FORWARDING  OF  PARCELS. 

Parcels  may  be  remailed  or  forwarded  on  the  payment  of  additional 
postage  at  the  rate  which  would  be  chargeable  if  they  were  originally  mailed 
at  the  forwarding  office,  in  which  case  the  necessary  stamps  shall  be  affixed  by 
the  forwarding  postmaster.  Payment  must  be  made  every  time  the  parcel 
is  forwarded. 

INSURANCE  ON  PARCELS. 

A  mailable  parcel  on  which  the  postage  is  fully  prepaid  may  be  insured 
against  loss  in  an  amount  equivalent  to  its  actual  value,  but  not  to  exceed  $50, 
on  payment  of  a  fee  of  ten  cents  in  parcel  post  stamps,  such  stamps  to  be  affixed. 

When  a  parcel  is  insured,  the  sender  will  be  given  a  receipt  showing  the 
office  and  date  of  mailing  and  number  of  the  parcel.  The  parcel  should  be 
numbered  to  correspond  with  the  receipt,  stamped  "insured"  and  an  insur- 
ance tag  securely  attached.  It  will  then  be  treated  as  ordinary  mail  until 
it  reaches  the  office  of  address,  when  it  must  be  delivered  to  the  addressee  or, 
unless  otherwise  directed  by  the  addressee,  to  the  person,  firm  or  corporation 
in  whose  care  it  is  addressed,  or  to  any  responsible  person  to  whom  the  ad- 
dressee's mail  is  customarily  delivered,  and  a  receipt  obtained  therefor  on  the 
tag  attached  to  the  parcel. 

When  a  return  receipt  is  desired  by  the  sender  of  an  insured  parcel,  the 
postmaster  at  the  mailing  office  shall  stamp  or  write  across  the  margin  of  the 
insurance  tag  the  words  "Return  Receipt  Desired,"  and  the  postmaster  at 
the  office  of  address  shall  obtain  from  the  addressee  a  receipt,  and  mail  it  to 
the  sender. 

The  liability  for  indemnity  shall  cease  when  delivery  has  been  effected. 

When  an  insured  parcel  is  lost  or  rifled  and  a  claim  for  indemnity  is  made 
the  office  of  mailing,  the  sender  shall  be  required  to  file  an  affidavit  showing 
the  number  of  the  parcel,  the  name  of  the  office,  the  date  of  mailing,  the  name 
and  address  of  the  addressee,  the  contents  of  the  parcel,  its  actual  value, 
and  to  whom  the  insurance  should  be  paid.     The  postmaster  shall  certify  on 

157 


this  form,  the  record  of  his  office  as  to  the  mailing  of  the  parcel  and  its  declared 
actual  value.  The  form  shall  be  forwarded  by  the  postmaster  to  the  post- 
master at  the  office  of  address,  who  shall  certify  thereon  whether  the  parcel 
had  been  received  and,  if  so,  the  disposition  made  of  it.  The  addressee  shall 
be  required  to  make  affidavit  on  the  form  that  he  has  not  received  the  parcel 
or  reimbursement  therefor. 

When  the  addressee  makes  claim  for  indemnity,  the  postmaster  at  the 
office  of  address  shall  cause  the  claimant  to  make  affidavit  to  the  facts  on  the 
proper  form  and,  after  certifying  thereto,  shall  forward  it  to  the  postmaster  at 
the  mailing  office  for  completion.  The  form,  when  completed,  shall  be  sent 
promptly  to  the  Third  Assistant  Postmaster  General  for  payment  of  the  in- 
demnity. 

No  indemnity  shall  be  paid  unless  a  claim  therefor  is  made  within  six 
months  from  the  date  the  parcel  was  mailed. 

REGISTRATION. 

In  view  of  the  provision  for  the  insurance  of  fourth-class  mail  and  the 
furnishing  of  receipts  for  such  mail  when  insured,  the  necessity  for  registra- 
tion is  removed  and  therefore  fourth-class  matter  shall  not  be  admitted  to 
the  registered  mail. 

REGISTRATION  OF  MAIL  MATTER. 

The  Registry  System  is  intended  to  give  to  registered  mail  the  greatest 
security  within  the  province  of  the  Post  Office  Department,  and  this  special 
security  is  obtained  by  a  distinctive  cover  for  the  matter,  its  retention  in 
special  custody,  and  a  system  of  records  and  receipts  showing  a  complete 
chain  of  receipts  from  the  time  it  leaves  the  hands  of  the  sender  until  it  is  de- 
livered to  the  addressee. 

Mail  matter  of  the  first,  second  or  third  class  may  be  registered  at  any 
post  office  in  the  United  States. 

The  fee  on  registered  matter,  domestic  or  foreign,  is  ten  cents  for  each 
letter  or  parcel,  to  be  affixed  in  stamps,  in  addition  to  the  postage.  Full  pre- 
payment of  postage  and  fee  is  required. 

Every  letter  presented  for  registration  must  be  fully  and  legally  addressed 
and  securely  sealed  by  the  sender,  and  all  letters  and  other  articles  must  also 
have  the  name  and  address  of  the  sender  endorsed  thereon  in  writing  or  print 
before  they  can  be  registered. 

Registered  mail  may  be  delivered  to  the  addressee,  to  a  person  author- 
ized by  the  addressee  in  writing  to  receive  it,  or  to  any  responsible  person  to 
whom  the  addressee's  ordinary  mail  is  customarily  delivered.  All  persons 
calling  for  registered  matter  should  be  prepared  to  furnish  reasonable  proof 
of  their  identity,  as  it  is  impossible  otherwise,  at  large  post  offices,  to  guard 
against  fraud. 

Safety  is  considered  before  celerity  in  the  transmission  of  registered 
mail,  and  as  delays  are  sometimes  necessary  to  secure  proper  receipts  at 
points  of  transfer,  due  allowance  should  be  made  by  those  mailing  such  matter 
and  those  to  whom  it  is  addressed,  as  registered  mails  cannot  be  handled  with 
the  same  despatch  as  ordinary  mail  matter. 

158 


The  sender  of  any  registered  artiele  may  obtain  assurance  of  its  receipt 
at  the  office  of  delivery  by  endorsing  it  with  the  words,  "Return  receipt 
requested/' 

Letters  and  packages  containing  money  or  articles  of  value  should  be 
registered,  and  never  deposited  for  transmission  by  ordinary  mail. 

The  Post  Office  Department  is  liable  to  an  amount  not  exceeding  $50 
for  the  loss  in  the  mails  of  any  piece  of  domestic  first-class  registered  mail 
matter,  and  not  exceeding  $25  for  the  loss  of  domestic  third  ana  fourth  class 
registered   mail  matter. 

Indemnity  will  be  paid  for  the  value  of  any  registered  article,  except 
pared  post  mail  and  except  in  case  of  "force  majeure"  (beyond  control), 
not  to  exceed  50  francs  in  any  one  case  (or  its  equivalent  in  United  States 
money),  where  the  registered  article  is  addressed  to  a  country  embraced  in 
the  Universal  Postal  Union,  and  is  lost  in  the  international  mails. 

MONEY  ORDERS. 

The  fees  or  charges  on  domestic  orders  are  as  follows:

Inspector 

(In  charge  of  First  and  Second  Districts,  including  coasts  of  Massachusetts, 

New  Hampshire  and  Maine) 

Lieut.  Charles  Satterlee,  U.S.R.C.S. 

For  the  purpose  of  administration  the  Life-Saving  Service  is  divided 
into  thirteen  districts.  The  first  district  embraces  the  coasts  of  Maine  and 
New  Hampshire  and  contains  fifteen  life-saving  stations,  located  at  the  most 
dangerous  points  on  the  coast.  The  second  district  includes  the  coast  of 
Massachusetts  containing  thirty-two'  live-saving  stations.  Of  this  number, 
thirteen  are  on  Cape  Cod  located  nearly  equidistant  from  Wood  End  to 
Monomoy  Point  and  designed  to  co-operate  with  each  other.  The  Island  of 
Nantucket  has  three  stations,  and  Muskeget,  Cuttyhunk,  and  Marthas  Vine- 
yard Islands  one  station  each.  In  this  district  there  is  also  a  floating  life- 
saving  station  of  a  unique  design  moored  during  the  yachting  season  in  Dor- 
chester Bay  (City  Point).  The  headquarters  of  the  superintendents  of  the 
first  and  second  districts  are  at  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  and  Provincetown,  Massa- 
chusetts, respectively. 

Each  life-saving  station  is  in  charge  of  a  keeper  who  is  employed  the  entire 
year.  From  August  1  to  May  31  a  crew  of  surfmen,  varying  in  numbers  from 
six  to  ten  according  to  the  needs  of  the  station,  is  employed.  Houses  of  refuge 
are  not  manned,  but  are  in  charge  of  a  keeper  throughout  the  year.

such  commissioner,  judge,  or  court  shall  proceed  in  respect  thereto  as  author- 
ized by  law  in  case  of  crimes  against  the  United  States:  Provided  further, 
That  whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Secretary  of  War,  the  public  interests 
require  it,  he  may  make  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  opening  of  draw- 
bridges for  the  passage  of  vessels  and  other  water  crafts,  and  such  rules  and 
regulations,  when  so  made  and  published,  shall  have  the  force  of  law,  and  any

GENERAL  RULES. 

6.  The  length  of  time  that  a  draw  has  been  open  shall  be  computed  from 
the  time  that  the  draw  span  begins  to  move  in  opening,  and  the  length  of  time 
that  a  draw  has  been  closed  shall  be  computed  from  the  time  that  the  draw 
span  ceases  to  move  in  closing. 

7.  When  a  vessel  or  other  water  craft  intends  to  pass  through  the  draw 
of  one  of  the  bridges  covered  by  these  rules  and  regulations,  the  master  or 
pilot  of  the  vessel  or  craft  shall,  on  approaching  within  signalling  distance, 
signify  his  intention  to  pass  through  the  bridge  by  sounding  with  a  whistle  or 
horn  the  signal  prescribed  below,  viz : 

General  Signals. 

For  Meridian  Street  Bridge:  Two  (2)  long  blasts  followed  immediately 
by  two  (2)  short  blasts  and  one  (1)  long  blast. 

For  all  other  bridges:  Two  (2)  long  blasts,  followed  immediately  by 
two  (2)  short  blasts. 

Special  Signals. 

For  Chelsea  Bridge,  North,  by  vessels  drawing  eighteen  (18)  feet  or  more: 
Four  (4)  long  blasts. 

204 


For  Northern  Avenue,  Congress  Street  and  Summer  Street  bridges,  by 
vessels  drawing  eighteen  (18)  feet  or  more:     Four  (4)  long  blasts. 

The  signal  given  by  a  master  or  pilot  shall  be  immediately  answered  from 
the  bridge  by  three  (3)  long  blasts  of  a  whistle  or  horn  unless  under  these 
rules  and  regulations  a  delay  in  opening  the  draw  is  permitted,  and  in  case  of 
such  a  delay  the  signal  shall  be  immediately  answered  by  two  (2)  long  blasts. 
A  long  blast  of  a  whistle  or  horn  as  herein  provided  shall  continue  for  three 

(3)  seconds  and  a  short  blast  for  one  (1)  second. 

8.  Upon  hearing  or  perceiving  the  signals  prescribed  in  paragraph  7,  or 
upon  verbal  request  from  the  master  or  pilot  of  any  vessel  or  other  water 
craft  waiting  at  the  bridge,  the  tender  or  operator  of  the  draw  of  the  bridge 
signalled  shall  at  once  open  the  draw  for  the  prompt  passage  of  any  vessel  or 
other  water  craft  unless  under  these  rules  and  regulations  a  delay  in  opening 
the  draw  is  permitted :  Provided,  That  the  draw  may  not  be  opened  if  there  is 
a  train,  car  or  other  vehicle  at  the  time  passing  over  said  draw,  or  if  a  train  or 
car  is  approaching  so  closely  that  it  cannot  be  safely  stopped  before  reaching 
the  draw,  but  the  draw  shall  be  opened  as  soon  as  it  can  be  cleared,  and  no 
person,  vehicle,  car  or  train  shall  be  permitted  to  begin  to  cross  the  draw  after 
it  has  been  signalled  to  open,  excepting  as  herein  provided. 

9.  Trains,  cars,  vehicles  or  persons  shall  not  be  stopped  on  any  draw  span 
for  the  purpose  of  delaying  the  opening  of  the  draw,  nor  shall  any  vessel  or 
other  water  craft  be  so  handled  or  placed  as  to  delay  the  opening  or  closing  of 
any  draw  span,  but  all  passage  over,  under  or  through  a  draw  span  shall  be 
prompt  so  as  to  reduce  delays  to  water  and  bridge  traffic  to  a  minimum.  Upon 
notice  from  the  Secretary  of  War  so  to  do,  the  owner  or  owners  of  any  bridge 
whose  draw  is  held  closed  as  authorized  in  paragraph  2  of  these  rules  and  regu- 
lations shall  station  and  maintain  at  such  bridge  a  tug  to  aid  vessels  and  other 
water  craft  in  passing  expeditiously  through  the  draw  thereof. 

10.  The  owner  or  owners  of  every  bridge  covered  by  these  rules  and  regu- 
lations shall  maintain  in  good  and  efficient  order  the  draw  span  and  the  ma- 
chinery and  appliances  for  operating  the  same  and  for  assisting  vessels  while 
passing  through  the  draw.  The  said  owner  or  owners  shall  also  provide  and 
maintain  at  the  draw  span  such  number  of  draw  tenders  or  operators  as  may 
be  necessary  to  open  and  close  the  same  promptly;  and  they  shall  also  provide 
and  maintain  in  good  order  on  the  bridge  piers  or  fenders  such  fixtures  as  may 
be  necessary  to  vessels  in  mooring  or  making  fast  while  waiting  for  the  draw 
span  to  open. 

11.  These  rules  and  regulations  shall  not  apply  to  steam  vessels  owned  or 
leased  by  the  United  States,  nor  shall  they  apply  to  vessels  employed  by  the 
City  of  Boston  or  other  municipality  for  police  and  fire  protection.  All  such 
United  States  and  municipal  vessels  shall  be  passed  without  delay  through  the 
draws  of  all  bridges,  at  any  hour  of  the  day  or  night,  upon  signalling  by  four 

(4)  long  blasts  of  the  whistle. 

12.  These  rules  and  regulations  shall  take  effect  on  May  12,  1910,  and  all 
regulations  or  parts  of  regulations  in  conflict  therewith  are  hereby  revoked  to 
take  effect  on  that  date.

OF  A  STEAMSHIP. 

A  person  desiring  to  meet  incoming  passengers  on  the  wharf  of  a  steamer

DIRECTORS   OF  THE   PORT    OF  BOSTON. 

40  Central  Street,  2d  Floor. 
Telephone,  Haymarket  1446. 

Hugh  Bancroft,  Chairman.  Term  expires  July  1,  1915. 

William  F.  Fitzgerald.  Term  expires  July  1,  1914. 

Joseph  Conry.  Term  expires  July  1,  1913. 

Francis  T.  Bowles.  Term  expires  July  1,  1915. 

William  S.  McNary,  (ex-ojjicio,  Chairman  Harbor  and  Land  Commission.) 

Frank  W.  Hodgson,  Chief  Engineer. 

The  port  of  Boston  is  administered  by  the  Directors  of  the  Port  of  Boston, 
a  State  board  established  by  Chapter  748  of  the  Acts  of  1911.  The  Act  gives 
to  the  Directors  very  large  powers  for  the  purpose  of  developing  and  main- 
taining the  port. 

Up  to  that  time,  the  public  supervision  of  the  port  lay  in  the  hands  of  the 
State  Harbor  and  Land  Commission,  whose  consent  it  was  necessary  to  obtain 
for  the  erection  of  any  wharf  or  dock  in  any  harbor  in  the  State,  but  who  had 
little  powers  of  initiative.  The  Directors  of  the  Port  of  Boston  succeeded  to 
all  the  powers  of  the  Harbor  and  Land  Commission  in  Boston  Harbor,  and, 
in  addition,  are  given  extensive  power  to  provide  and  operate  terminal  f  acuities, 
including  wharves,  docks,  warehouses  and  railroad  connections,  with  the  right 
to  purchase  or  expropriate  any  property  that  may  be  necessary. 

The  Act  which  created  the  Port  Directors  requires  them  to  prepare  all 
necessary  plans  for  the  comprehensive  development  of  the  harbor,  requires 
them  to  administer  all  terminal  facilities  which  are  under  their  control  and  to 
keep  themselves  informed  as  to  the  present  and  future  requirements  of  steam- 
ships and  shipping,  and  as  to  the  best  means  which  can  be  provided  at  the 
port  of  Boston  for  the  accommodation  of  steamships,  railroads,  warehouse  and 
industrial  establishments. 

NEW  BOSTON  DRY  DOCK. 

The  Directors  of  the  Port  of  Boston  have  voted  to  build  a  large  dry  dock 
and  have  appropriated  $3,000,000  for  that  purpose.  A  site  has  been  selected 
at  the  eastern  end  of  the  State's  flats  at  South  Boston  and  plans  are  being 
prepared  for  the  same.  The  new  dock  is  planned  to  be  large  enough  to  dock 
a  vessel  one  thousand  feet  long  and  one  hundred  twenty  feet  wide. 

NEW  PIER  FOR  THE  HAMBURG-AMERICAN  LINE. 

A  large  pier  at  South  Boston,  known  as  Commonwealth  Pier  No.  5,  is  in 
the  process  of  completion,  a  part  of  which  is  to  be  used  by  the  Hamburg- 
American  Line. 

210 


The  pier  is  1200  feet  long.  400  feet  wide,  has  40  feet  of  water  at  mean  low 
water  in  the  berths  along  side,  and  the  entire  pier  is  being  covered  with  a 
double-story  shed,  or,  in  fact,  three  double-story  sheds  which  are  practically 
continuous,  except  that  the  middle  shed  is  separated  longitudinally  from  the 
two  side  sheds  by  railroad  tracks  running  the  length  of  the  pier. 

With  the  completion  of  this  pier,  a  viaduct  leading  from  the  second  story 
of  the  pier  to  Summer  Street  is  to  be  built  for  the  purpose  ot  separating  passen- 
ger traffic  from  the  railroad  and  heavy  teaming  traffic.  A  grain  elevator  is 
also  to  be  constructed. 

Half  of  the  pier  shed  is  under  contract  to  be  completed  by  May  1,  1913, 
the  whole  of  the  sheds  by  April  1,  1914.  The  Hamburg- American  Line  is 
assigned  the  use  of  one-half  of  the  pier  for  five  years  with  the  right  on  their 
part  to  renew  for  five  years  longer.  They  have  agreed  to  institute  a  direct 
service  from  Boston  to  Hamburg  with  some  of  their  best  boats,  during  the 
coming  summer.

DEMURRAGE  RULES. 
In  Effect  September  1,  1912. 
A.  G.  Thomason,  Commissioner,  294  Washington  Street. 

Rule  1. — Cars  Subject  to  Rules. 
Cars  held  for  or  by  consignors  or  consignees  for  loading,  unloading,  for- 
warding directions,  or  for  any  other  purpose,  are  subject  to  these  demurrage 
rules  except  as  follows: 

Sect.  A.     Cars  loaded  with  live  stock. 

Sect.  B.  Empty  cars  placed  for  loading  coal  at  mines  or  mine  sidings,  or 
coke  at  coke  ovens. 

Sect.  C.  Empty  private  cars  stored  on  carrier's  or  private  tracks,  provided 
such  cars  have  not  been  placed  or  tendered  for  loading  on  the  orders  of  a 
shipper. 

Note.  Private  cars  while  in  railroad  service  whether  on  carrier's  or  private 
tracks,  are  subject  to  these  demurrage  rules  to  the  same  extent  as  cars  of  rail- 
road ownership. 

(Empty  private  cars  are  in  railroad  service  from  the  time  they  are  placed 
by  the  carrier  for  loading  or  tendered  for  loading  on  the  orders  of  a  shipper. 

224 


Private  cars  under  lading  are  in  railroad  service  until  the  lading  is  removed  and 
cars  are  regularly  released.  Cars  which  belong  to  an  industry  performing  its 
own  switching  service  are  in  railroad  service  from  the  time  they  are  placed  by 
the  industry  upon  designated  interchange  tracks  and  thereby  tendered  to  the 
carrier  for  movement.  If  such  cars  are  subsequently  returned  empty  they 
are  out  of  service  when  withdrawn  by  the  industry  from  the  interchange;  if 
returned  under  load,  railroad  service  is  not  at  an  end  until  the  lading  is  duly 
removed.) 

Explanations. 

Cars  loaded  with  company  material  for  use  of  and  consigned  to  the  rail- 
road in  whose  possession  the  cars  are  held  are  not  subject  to  demurrage. 

Empty  cars  placed  for  loading  with  company  material  are  subject  to 
demurrage  unless  the  loading  is  done  by  the  railroad  company  for  which  the 
material  is  intended  and  on  its  tracks. 

Sect.  A.  Empty  cars  placed  for  loading  live  stock  by  shippers  are  not 
exempt  and  should  be  reported. 

Live  poultry  is  not  considered  as  live  stock,  and  cars  so  loaded  are  subject 
to  demurrage. 

Sect.  C.  Empty  private  cars  stored  on  tracks  switched  by  carriers, 
taken  for  loading  without  order  or  requisition  from  shipper,  and  without  formal 
assignment  by  carrier's  agent,  shall  be  recorded  as  placed  for  loading  when 
actual  loading  is  begun. 

Note.  Private  cars  belonging  to  an  industry  which  does  its  own  switch- 
ing, placed  upon  an  interchange  track  for  forwarding  and  refused  by  the 
carrier's  inspector,  shall  be  released  from  demurrage  if  withdrawn  by  the 
industry  from  the  interchange  track  within  24  hours  after  rejection. 

Private  cars  are  not  in  railroad  service: 

(a)  When  loaded  and  unloaded  on  the  tracks  of  the  owner  and  not  moved 
over  the  tracks  of  a  carrier; 

(6)  When  placed  by  the  carrier  for  loading  on  the  tracks  of  the  owner  and 
refused  by  the  inspector. 

Rule  2.— Free  Time  Allowed. 

Sect.  A.  Forty-eight  hours  (two  days)  free  time  will  be  allowed  for 
loading  or  unloading  on  all  commodities. 

Sect.  B.     Twenty-four  hours  (one  day)  free  time  will  be  allowed: 

1.  When  cars  are  held  for  switching  orders. 

Note.  Cars  held  for  switching  orders  are  cars  which  are  held  by  a 
carrier  to  be  delivered  to  a  consignee  within  switching  limits  and  which  when 
switched  become  subject  to  an  additional  charge  for  such  switching  movement. 

If  a  consignee  wishes  his  car  held  at  any  break-up  yard  or  a  hold  yard 
before  notification  and  placement,  such  car  will  be  subject  to  demurrage.  That 
is  to  say,  the  time  held  in  the  break-up  yard  will  be  included  within  the  forty- 
eight  hours  of  free  time.  If  he  wishes  to  exempt  his  cars  from  the  imposition  of 
demurrage  he  must  either  by  general  orders  given  to  the  carrier  or  by  specific 
orders  as  to  incoming  freight  notify  the  carrier  of  the  track  upon  which  he 
wishes  his  freight  placed,  in  which  event  he  will  have  the  full  48  hours  free  time 
from  the  time  when  the  placement  is  made  upon  the  track  designated. 

225 


2.  When  cars  are  held  for  reconsignment  or  reshipment  in  same  car 
received. 

Note.  A  reconsignment  is  a  privilege  permitted  by  tariff  under  which 
the  original  consignee  has  the  right  of  diversion.  In  event  of  the  presence  of 
such  a  privilege  in  the  tariff  24  hours  free  time  is  allowed  for  the  exercise  of 
that  privilege  by  the  consignee.  A  reshipment  under  this  rule  is  the  making 
of  a  new  contract  of  shipment  by  which  under  a  new  rate  the  consignee  forwards 
the  same  car  to  .another  destination. 

3.  When  cars  destined  for  delivery  to  or  for  forwarding  by  a  connecting 
line  are  held  for  surrender  of  bill  of  lading  or  for  payment  of  lawful  freight 
charges. 

4.  When  cars  are  held  in  transit  and  placed  for  inspection  or  grading. 
When  cars  loaded  with  grain  or  hay  are  so  held  subject  to  recognized  official 
inspection  and  such  inspection  is  made  after  12  o'clock  noon,  24  hours  (one 
day)  extra  will  be  allowed  for  disposition. 

5.  When  cars  are  stopped  in  transit  to  complete  loading,  to  partly  unload 
or  to  partly  unload  and  partly  reload  (when  such  privilege  of  stopping  in 
transit  is  allowed  in  the  tariffs  of  the  carriers). 

6.  On  cars  containing  freight  in  bond  for  customs  entry  and  Government 
inspection. 

Sect.  C.  Cars  containing  freight  for  transshipment  to  vessel  will  be 
allowed  such  free  time  at  the  port  as  may  be  provided  in  the  tariffs  of  the  car- 
riers. 

Explanations. 

Sect.  A.  When  the  same  car  is  both  unloaded  and  reloaded,  each  trans- 
action will  be  treated  as  independent  of  the  other. 

Sect.  B.  1.  Applies  to  cars  held  on  carrier  line  for  disposition.  (See 
Section  B  2.) 

It  also  applies  to  cars  held  on  the  carrier  line  within  a  switching  district 
consigned  to  a  point  on  a  switching  line  within  such  district  which  cannot  be 
received  on  account  of  disability  of  the  consignee.  The  carrier  line  must  in 
all  cases  give  notice  in  writing  to  the  consignee  of  all  cars  so  held.  Time  will 
be  computed  in  accordance  with  Rule  3,  Section  B. 

Sect.  B.  2.  Applies  to  cars  held  in  transit  for  reconsignment  or  on  order 
of  consignor  or  consignee.  (See  Rules  3,  Section  B,  and  4,  Section  B.)  A 
change  of  consignee  after  arrival  of  car  at  destination  is  not  a  reconsignment 
under  these  rules  unless  a  diversion  provided  by  tariff  is  involved. 

Rule  3. — Computing  Time. 

Note.  In  computing  time,  Sundays  and  legal  holidays  (National,  State 
and  Municipal)  will  be  excluded.  When  a  legal  holiday  falls  on  a  Sunday,  the 
following  Monday  will  be  excluded. 

Sect.  A.  On  cars  held  for  loading,  time  will  be  commuted  from  the  first 
7  a.m.  after  placement  on  public-delivery  tracks.  See  Rule  6  (Cars  for  load- 
ing). 

226 


Sect.  B.  On  cars  held  for  orders,  time  will  be  computed  from  the  first 
7  a.m.  after  the  day  on  which  notice  of  arrival  is  sent  to  the  consignee. 

Sect.  C.  On  cars  held  for  unloading,  time  will  be  computed  from  the  first 
7  a.m.  after  placement  on  public-delivery  tracks,  and  after  the  day  on  which 
notice  of  arrival  is  sent  to  consignee. 

Sect.  D.  On  cars  to  be  delivered  on  any  other  than  public-delivery 
tracks,  time  will  be  computed  from  the  first  7  a.m.  after  actual  or  constructive 
placement  on  such  tracks.  See  Rule  4  (Notification)  and  Rules  5  and  6 
(Constructive   Placement). 

Note.  "Actual  placement"  is  made  when  a  car  is  placed  in  an  accessible 
position  for  loading  or  unloading  or  at  a  point  previously  designated  by  the 
consignor  or  consignee. 

Sect.  E.  On  cars  to  be  delivered  on  interchange  tracks  of  industrial 
plants  performing  their  own  switching  service,  time  will  be  computed  from  the 
first  7  a.m.  following  actual  or  constructive  placement  on  such  interchange 
tracks  until  return  thereto.  See  Rule  4  (Notification)  and  Rules  5  and  6 
(Constructive  placement).  Cars  returned  loaded  will  not  be  recorded  re- 
leased until  necessary  billing  instructions  are  given. 

Explanations. 

Note.    The  exemption  of  holidays  does  not  include  half  holidays. 

Sect.  B.  When  orders  for  cars  held  for  disposition  or  reconsignment  are 
mailed,  such  orders  will  release  cars  at  7  a.m.  of  the  date  orders  are  received 
at  the  station  where  the  freight  is  held,  provided  the  orders  are  mailed  prior  to 
the  date  received,  but  orders  mailed  and  received  on  the  same  date  release 
cars  the  following  7  a.m. 

Rule  4. — Notification. 

Sect.  A.  Consignee  shall  be  notified  by  carrier's  agent  in  writing,  or  as 
otherwise  agreed  to  by  carrier  and  consignee,  within  24  hours  after  arrival  of 
cars  and  billing  at  destination,  such  notice  to  contain  point  of  shipment,  car 
initials  and  numbers,  and  the  contents,  and,  if  transferred  in  transit,  the  initials 
and  number  of  the  original  car.  In  case  car  is  not  placed  on  public-delivery 
track  wrthin  24  hours  after  notice  of  arrival  has  been  sent,  a  notice  of  placement 
shall  be  given  to  consignee. 

Sect.  B.  When  cars  are  ordered  stopped  in  transit  the  party  ordering 
the  cars  stopped  shall  be  notified  upon  arrival  of  cars  at  point  of  stoppage. 

Sect.  C.  Delivery  of  cars  upon  private  or  industrial  interchange  tracks, 
or  written  notice  to  consignee  of  readiness  to  so  deliver,  will  constitute  notifica- 
tion thereof  to  consignee. 

Sect.  D.  In  all  cases  where  notice  is  required  the  removal  of  any  part 
of  the  contents  of  a  car  by  the  consignee  shall  be  considered  notice  thereof  to 
the  consignee. 

Explanations. 

When  cars  are  for  delivery  to  public-team  tracks,  and  placement  is  de- 
layed for  more  than  24  hours  after  notice  of  arrival  is  given,  a  notice  of  place- 

227 


ment  must  also  be  given  to  the  consignee,  and  the  free  time  for  unloading  com- 
puted according  to  the  notice  of  placement. 

Rule  5. — Placing  Cars  for  Unloading. 

Sect.  A.  When  delivery  of  cars  consigned  or  ordered  to  any  other  than 
public-delivery  tracks  or  to  industrial  interchange  tracks  cannot  be  made  on 
account  of  the  act  or  neglect  of  the  consignee,  or  the  inability  of  the  consignee 
to  receive,  delivery  will  be  considered  to  have  been  made  when  the  cars  were 
tendered.  The  carrier's  agent  must  give  the  consignee  written  notice  of  all 
cars  he  has  been  unable  to  deliver  because  of  the  condition  of  the  private  or 
interchange  tracks,  or  because  of  other  conditions  attributable  to  consignee. 
This  will  be  considered  constructive  placement.     (See  Rule  4,  Notification.) 

Sect.  B.  When  delivery  cannot  be  made  on  specially  designated  public- 
delivery  tracks  on  account  of  such  tracks  being  fully  occupied,  or  from  other 
cause  beyond  the  control  of  the  carrier,  the  carrier  shall  notify  the  consignee  of 
its  intention  to  make  delivery  at  the  nearest  point  available  to  the  consignee, 
naming  the  point.  Such  delivery  shall  be  made  unless  the  consignee  shall 
before  delivery  indicate  a  preferred  available  point,  in  which  case  the  preferred 
delivery  shall  be  made. 

Rule  6.— Cars  For  Loading. 

Sect.  A.  Cars  for  loading  will  be  considered  placed  when  such  cars  are 
actually  placed  or  held  on  orders  of  the  consignor.  In  the  latter  case  the  agent 
must  give  the  consignor  written  notice  of  all  cars  which  he  has  been  unable  to 
place  because  of  condition  of  the  private  track  or  because  of  other  conditions 
attributable  to  the  consignor.  This  will  be  considered  constructive  placement. 
(See  Rule  3,  Section  A,  Computing  Time.) 

Sect.  B.  When  empty  cars,  placed  for  loading  on  orders,  are  not  used, 
demurrage  will  be  charged  from  the  first  7  a.m.  after  placing  or  tender  until 
released,  with  no  time  allowance. 

Rule  7.— Demurrage  Charge. 

After  the  expiration  of  the  free  time  allowed,  a  charge  of  $1  per  car  per 
day,  or  fraction  of  a  day,  will  be  made  until  car  is  released. 

Explanations. 
Charges  accruing  under  these  rules  must  be  collected  in  the  same  manner 
and  with  the  same  regularity  and  promptness  as  other  transportation  charges. 

Rule  8. — Claims. 

No  demurrage  charges  shall  be  collected  under  these  rules  for  detention  of 
cars  through  causes  named  below.  Demurrage  charges  assessed  or  collected 
under  such  conditions  shall  be  promptly  canceled  or  refunded  by  the  carrier. 

Causes. 
Sect.  A.     Weather  interference. 

1.  When  the  condition  of  the  weather  during  the  prescribed  free  time  is 
such  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  employ  men  or  teams  in  loading  or  unloading, 

228 


or  impossible  to  place  freight  in  cars,  or  to  move  it  from  cars,  without  serious 
injury  to  the  freight,  the  free  time  shall  be  extended  until  a  total  of  48  hours 
free  from  such  weather  interference  shall  have  been  allowed. 

2.  When  shipments  are  frozen  while  in  transit  so  as  to  prevent  unloading 
during  the  prescribed  free  time.  This  exemption  shall  not  include  shipments 
which  are  tendered  to  consignee  in  condition  to  unload.  Under  this  rule 
consignees  will  be  required  to  make  diligent  effort  to  unload  such  shipments. 

3.  When,  because  of  high  water  or  snowdrifts,  it  is  impossible  to  get  to 
cars  for  loading  or  unloading  during  the  prescribed  free  time. 

This  rule  shall  not  absolve  a  consignor  or  consignee  from  liability  for  de- 
murrage if  others  similarly  situated  and  under  the  same  conditions  are  able  to 
load  or  unload  cars. 

Sect.  B.     Bunching. 

1.  Cars  for  loading.  When,  by  reason  of  delay  or  irregularity  of  the 
carrier  in  filling  orders,  cars  are  bunched  and  placed  for  loading  in  accumulated 
numbers  in  excess  of  daily  orders,  the  shipper  shall  be  allowed  such  free  time 
for  loading  as  he  would  have  been  entitled  to  had  the  cars  been  placed  for 
loading  as  ordered. 

2.  Cars  for  unloading  or  reconsigning.  When,  as  the  result  of  the  act 
or  neglect  of  any  carrier,  cars  destined  for  one  consignee,  at  one  point,  are 
bunched  at  originating  point,  in  transit,  or  at  destination,  and  delivered  by  the 
carrier  line  in  accumulated  numbers  in  excess  of  daily  shipments,  the  consignee 
shall  be  allowed  such  free  time  as  he  would  have  been  entitled  to  had  the  cars 
been  delivered  in  accordance  with  the  daily  rate  of  shipment.  Claim  to  be 
presented  to  carrier's  agent  within  15  days. 

Sect.  C.     Demand  of  overcharge. 

When  the  carrier's  agent  demands  the  payment  of  transportation  charges 
in  excess  of  tariff  authority. 

Sect.  D.  Delayed  or  improper  notice  by  carrier.  When  notice  has  been 
given  in  substantial  compliance  with  the  requirements  as  specified  in  these 
rules,  the  consignee  shall  not  thereafter  have  the  right  to  call  in  question  the 
sufficiency  of  such  notice  unless  within  48  hours  from  7  a.m.  following  the  day 
on  which  notice  is  sent  he  shall  serve  upon  the  delivering  carrier  a  full  written 
statement  of  his  objections  to  the  sufficiency  of  such  notice. 

1.  When  claim  is  made  that  a  mailed  notice  has  been  delayed  the  post- 
mark thereon  shall  be  accepted  as  indicating  the  date  of  the  notice. 

2.  When  a  notice  is  mailed  by  carrier  on  Sunday,  a  legal  holiday,  or  after 
3  p.m.  on  other  days  (as  evidenced  by  the  postmark  thereon)  the  consignee 
shall  be  allowed  five  hours  additional  free  time,  provided  he  shall  mail  or  send 
to  the  carrier's  agent,  within  the  first  24  hours  of  free  time,  written  advice  that 
the  notice  had  not  been  received  until  after  the  free  time  had  begun  to  run; 
in  case  of  failure  on  the  part  of  consignee  so  to  notify  carrier's  agent,  no  addi- 
tional free  time  shall  be  allowed. 

Sect.  E.     Railroad  errors  which  prevent  proper  tender  or  delivery. 
Sect.  F.     Delay  by  United  States  customs.     Such  additional  free  time 
shall  be  allowed  as  has  been  lost  through  such  delay. 

229 


Rule  9.— Average  Agreement. 

When  a  shipper  or  receiver  enters  into  the  following  agreement,  the  charge 
for  detention  to  cars,  provided  for  by  rule  7,  on  all  cars  held  for  loading  or 
unloading  by  such  shipper  or  receiver  shall  be  computed  on  the  basis  of  the 
average  time  of  detention  to  all  such  cars  released  during  each  calendar  month, 
such  average  detention  to  be  computed  as  follows: 

Sect.  A.  A  credit  of  one  day  will  be  allowed  for  each  car  released  within 
the  first  24  hours  of  free  time.  A  debit  of  one  day  will  be  charged  for  each 
24  hours  or  fraction  thereof  that  a  car  is  detained  beyond  the  first  48  hours  of 
free  time.  In  no  case  shall  more  than  one  day's  credit  be  allowed  on  any  one 
car,  and  in  no  case  shall  more  than  five  days'  credit  be  applied  in  cancellation 
of  debits  accruing  on  any  one  car,  making  a  maximum  of  seven  days  that  any 
car  may  be  held  free;  this  to  include  Sundays  and  holidays. 

Sect.  B.  At  the  end  of  the  calendar  month  the  total  number  of  days 
credited  will  be  deducted  from  the  total  number  of  days  debited,  and  $1 
per  day  charged  for  the  remainder.  If  the  credits  equal  or  exceed  the  debits, 
no  charge  will  be  made  for  the  detention  of  the  cars,  and  no  payment  will 
be  made  to  shippers  or  receivers  on  account  of  such  excess  of  credits,  nor 
shall  the  credits  in  excess  of  the  debits  of  any  one  month  be  considered  in  com- 
puting the  average  detention  for  another  month. 

Sect.  C.  A  shipper  or  receiver  who  elects  to  take  advantage  of  this 
average  agreement  shall  not  be  entitled  to  cancellation  or  refund  of  demurrage 
charges  under  Section  A,  paragraphs  1  and  3,  or  Section  B  of  Rule  8. 

Sect.  D.  A  shipper  or  receiver  who  elects  to  take  advantage  of  this 
average  agreement  may  be  required  to  give  sufficient  security  to  the  carrier 
for  the  payment  of  balances  against  him  at  the  end  of  each  month. 

Agreement. 
To Railroad  Company: 

In  accordance  with  the  terms  of  Rule  9  of  the  national  car  demurrage 
rules,  reading  as  follows :

SWITCHING   CHARGES. 

When  goods  arrive  over  one  railroad  for  export  at  a  terminal  owned  by 
another,  or  are  imported  at  the  terminal  of  one  road  for  interior  shipment  over

to  the  other  road  for  its  service  in  switching  the  car  to  or  from  its  terminal  and 
for  loading  or  unloading  it. 

For  switching  rates,  see  the  Foreign  Traffic  Department  of  the  Boston  &

FARGO  &  COMPANY  EXPRESS  holds  contracts  for 
the  despatch  of  all  classes  of  merchandise  upon  these  trains. 

No  wonder  then  that  in  large  manufactories  and  stores

sure  and  use  Wells  Fargo." 

He  knows.  He  understands  the  far-reaching  network  of 
Wells  Fargo  &  Company  lines  across  North  America — 90,000  miles 
of  railroad  and  steamship  routes  in  the  United  States,  Mexico, 
Canada  and  Alaska — he  remembers  the  Wells  Fargo  reputation 
for  service.  

The  Foreign  Department  of  Wells  Fargo  &  Company  Express 
ranks  with  the  home  departments  in  responsibility  and  despatch. 

It  maintains  first-class  Customs  BrokerageDepartments  at  New  York,  San 
Francisco,  Chicago  and  other  important  cities,  with  expert  clerks  licensed  by  the 
Government.     Prompt  clearance  at  reasonable  rates  is  assured. 

Being  Bonded  Carriers,  this  Company  attends  to  the  immediate  forwarding 
in  Bond  of  shipments  for  interior  cities.  Invoices  and  Bill  of  Lading  should 
show  "In  Bond  to"  with  city  of  destination.
